The history of video games began in the 1940s-1950s with simple academic simulations and games. Video games grew in popularity during the 1970s and 1980s with the introduction of arcade games and gaming consoles for home use. There have since been eight generations of video game consoles, starting with the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972 and progressing to include popular consoles like the Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, and Nintendo 64.

Key consoles included the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, the Sony PlayStation which became popular in the fifth generation in 1994, the Microsoft Xbox released in 2001 starting the seventh generation, and the Nintendo Wii which was a global success in 2006 with its motion controls.
History of Video Games
History of Video GamesCort1026The document summarizes the history of video games from 1940 to the present. It outlines some of the earliest games like NIM from 1940 and SpaceWar! from 1962. It then discusses the growth of the industry in the 1970s with games like Pong and Space Invaders. The document also notes the video game crash of 1983-1985 when the market experienced a 97% drop in revenue due to oversaturation. It discusses the resurgence and massive growth of the industry from the 1990s onward. Profits from video games have steadily increased, particularly during recessions when consumers sought escapism, with annual sales in the US reaching over $16 billion by 2009.

Decay Of Light
Decay Of LightAdecco, IndiaThe document discusses light decay in both the real world and in 3D virtual worlds. In the real world, light intensity decreases with distance from the source due to the light waves spreading out. In virtual worlds, different decay models can be used, including linear decay where intensity decreases directly with distance, quadratic decay where it decreases with the square of the distance similar to real light, and cubic decay where it decreases faster. Additional techniques like decay regions and intensity curves allow further control over how light intensity changes over distance.

Scanning electron microscopy showed that ethanol amended cultures exhibited a looser mycelial network compared to tight networks in control cultures, indicating ethanol decreased cell-cell and cell-surface adhesion. Experiments with glass, polystyrene, and tin strips found that ethanol amended cultures showed less adhesion on surfaces than control cultures. Biochemical assays demonstrated that ethanol induced oxidative stress in the fungus and decreased biomass, pigment production, and surface-bound proteins and exopolysaccharides. Therefore, ethanol can be used to control surface properties of fungi and inhibit biofilm formation.

Introduction
Video games have been an important concept in the
advancement of technology for over 40 years now.
Since 1975, they have not only become one of the most
popular sources of entertainment, they have also
played a major role in globalization, allowing people
from all over the world to communicate amongst each
other
The “First” Video Game
In 1962 Steve Russell invents SpaceWar!, a game that
was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
It wasn’t the first actual video game
developed, however it was the first intended to be
played on computers
Game was developed for a computer that cost over
$150,000 making it unmarketable and unknown to the
general public
Arcades
In 1971, Nolan Bushnell
along with Ted Dabney
(whom later founded Atari
together in 1975)
programmed the SpaceWars!
game to play on a television
screen
Together they created the
first Arcade
Machine, Computer
Space, which operated at 25
cents per 90 seconds
Video Games Become Popular
In 1975, Atari released
Pong as a home video
game on their first
console
Pong becomes a huge
success among a
teenage market
The sales of video game
entertainment systems
also begin to skyrocket
Arcade Games
From 1977 to the late
1980’s, video games
became extremely
popular as coin
operated machines in
arcades.
Games such as Pac
Man, Donkey
Kong, and Space
Invaders became
extremely successful.
Early Consoles
In 1972, Ralph Baer created the
Magnavox Odyssey. It was the first
video game console playable on
home televisions
Magnavox mass-produced these
consoles which featured 5 diskettes
that generated different code
already located in the machine and
2 huge controllers that used 6-C
batteries apiece
HAL (A.I.) first introduced
Atari releases 2600 in 1975, these
entertainment systems are referred
to as the 1st generation of consoles

This era began what would
later be known as “the
Console Wars”. Both 64 Bit
machines ended up being
mainstream machines that
would later be the downfall
for both the Sega and Atari
companies as console
developers due to cost
efficiency and playability
With the release of the 64
Bit console, video games
became playable in 3
Dimensional worlds
Conclusion
Technology continues to grow and improve on a daily
basis
The consoles we use today (Xbox 360, PS5, etc.)contain
processors so much more powerful than as little as 5
years ago that the measurement of bits is no longer
appropriate
Video games are now in a stage of voice
recognition, motion detection, among other things
that will continue to
