Pro Gamming
What is gaming?
Gaming is the running of specialized applications known as electronic games or video games on game consoles like X-box and Play station or on personal computers (in which case the activity is known as online gaming). The term “gaming” originated as a synonym for “gambling” although most electronic games today do not involve gambling in the traditional sense.
History of gaming
Who invented the computer game?
In 1958, William Higinbotham created the first true video game. His game, titled “Tennis for Two,” was devised and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope. Using an MIT PDP-1 mainframe computer, Steve Russell designed “SpaceWar!” — the first game specifically made for computer play in 1962.
Spacewar!
The first computer game is generally assumed to be the game Spacewar!, developed in 1962 at MIT (MASTER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY)(Stephen Russell a.o.). Space war originally ran on a PDP-1(Programmed Data Processor) computer the size of a large car. By today’s standards, the graphics are rather primitive, although less primitive than many games form the 1980's.
My Gaming Interest

It is the fourth main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III, and the sixth instalment overall. I completed this game 5.
