Ah, the joys of a family night of fun board games played with in the table!

When we were kids, our videos were novels along with our game consoles have been stored in boxes on the closet shelves. I recently rediscovered this joy with my seven-year-old granddaughter. We made a decision to watch television less and spend time doing things that encouraged conversation and personal interaction. It was a great choice. I know which girls in her course giggle a lot, which boys can chase you around the playground, and just how much homework”that they” expect her to have done. I also had the joy of seeing my very smart, very funny granddaughter become a card shark.

All of this collectively time took me to my own childhood. We really needed to choose to watch much less tv. We just have three stations as well as also my dad’s interests ran the gamut from the news to soccer. The Philco belonged to Daddy. We played outside in sunlight and played indoors when the rains arrived or nightfall drove us inside. I can still feel the sensation of sitting round the table on a cold night with my brothers and sister and occasionally my parents, even the odor of goodies cooking, and the laughter swelling with all the ups and downs of game play. I remember so clearly understanding the warmth and relaxation of the place in the household. And all this is linked in my mind with the beautiful pleasure of board games.

And since I did not have anything good to do today, I decided to do some research about the complete history of video game consoles. To my surprise, I realized that the very first console I had back when I was a child wasn’t the”first game console”. I had this notion that my previous games console was the first first created, so I guess it was really worth the time exploring regarding video game consoles.

Whatever the case, let’s start our blast from the past as I take you back in the humble beginnings of the treasured video game consoles.
The thought of playing games in front of the tv has been considered absurd and also a thing of the future. All except for one Ralph Baer who guessed one absurd idea; the ability to interact with your tv, which includes playing games on it. This was in 1951 while building television sets for Loral at Bronx, New York. Back in 1966, he successfully built a game called”Chase” in which two dots chased each other round the screen. He showed the idea to his new supervisor, R&D owner Herbert Campman, that he was given some funding along with his job has been taken by the company as an official one. A Couple of years afterwards, Ralph Baer successfully produced the”Brown Box”, which is considered as the Terrific grandfather of all video game consoles
A few decades after, Magnavox decided to invest on video games and created the very first video game console called the Magnavox Oddysey.
