7. INTRODUCTION

8. Dictionary.com & Wiki Gaming - The playing of games, esp. those developed to teach something or to help solve a problem. Game - A competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance. The origin of video games lies in early cathode ray tube-based missile defense systems in the late 1940s. These programs were later adapted into other simple games during the 1950s. By the late 1950s and through the 1960s, more computer games were developed. Following this period, video games diverged into different platforms: arcade, mainframe, console, personal computer and later handheld games. The first commercially viable video game was Computer Space in 1971 , which laid the foundation for a new entertainment industry in the late 1970s within the United States, Japan, and Europe.
