Video Games that made history
The history of video games begins with arcade games, which are now regarded as timeless classics across all platforms. These early titles simply laid the foundation for the gaming industry. As technology advanced and home computers gained popularity, gaming expanded beyond arcades, allowing players to experience more complex and diverse titles. With the rise of PC gaming, an even greater variety of genres emerged, from strategy and role-playing games to first-person shooters and adventure titles. Over time, these changes shaped the evolution of video games, enriching the industry with new masterpieces.
