Rise of Video Games

The gaming landscape transformed dramatically from the early 1970s with the introduction of arcade games like Pong and the Atari 2600. The late 20th century saw a shift towards Japanese dominance in the industry, while innovations like network gaming and the emergence of first-person shooters, exemplified by Doom, laid the groundwork for modern gaming. Today, the industry continues to thrive, fueled by advanced technology and creative development tools.
