In 1949, a young engineer named Ralph Baer was given an assignment
Build a television set. He wasn' t supposed to build just any television
Set, but one that wocould be the absolute best of all televisions. This
Was not a problem for Baer, but he wanted to go beyond his original
Assignment and ineffecate (include, add, absorb)

Some kind of game into the set. He didn't
Know exactly what kind of game he had in mind, but it didn't really
Matter because his managers nixed
(Prohibited)
The idea. It wocould take another 18
Years for his idea to become a reality, and by that time there wocould be
Other people to share in the glory
(Honor, honor)
, Like Willy higinbotham
(Willi Haijin botherm)
, Who
Designed an interactive tennis game played on an oscilloscope
[Note: tennis for two]
, And
Steve Russell

(Steve Russell)

, Who programmed a rudimentary
(Basic, preliminary) space game on a DEC PDP-1
Mainframe Computer
(Large computer)
. And then there was also Nolan Bushnell

(Nolan Bush)
,

Who played
That space game and dreamed of a time when fairground
(Open-air Playground)
Midways

Wocould be
Filled with games powered by computers.

Of video games are reminded of the rich history of the industry.
Crave's Asteroids

, Which was really a jazzed-up
(Lively) Copy of Steve
Russell
'S Spacewar. Space Invaders
(

Space intruders)
, Centipede, Frogger, and Pong
(Ping pong) are
Once again on store shelves, and Pong is but a polished
(Exquisite, elegant) Variant
(Variant)
Of

The history of video games is not just about people. It's also about

Video games popular again, is just as old. And who wowould have ever
Thought Sony, the company that has Ted all types of electronics, from
Transistor radios

To video recorders
