VIDEO GAMES

Video Games

I learned that video games were made in the early 1900’s. 

I learned that Ralph Baer was the creator of Pong, an old addicting game. 

Informational things I learned were the game systems like the old Nintendo that lots of people never heard of. 

There are games people haven’t heard of either. 

The best by my survey was the Wii for sports because more people voted for it and it beat Xbox and PS3.
