The 1970s marked the true birth of the video game industry. In 1972, Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow created Pong, a simplified version of table tennis, which became the first commercially successful arcade game. Pong was a breakthrough not only in terms of technology but also in terms of marketing. It introduced a new form of entertainment in arcades, which quickly became a gathering spot for social interaction.
Around the same time, other pioneers began developing early video games. In 1974, Maze War, which is widely regarded as one of the first first-person shooters, was developed at NASA Ames Research Center. This period also witnessed the emergence of games like Space Invaders (1978) and Asteroids (1979), which helped solidify the arcade scene as the epicenter of gaming culture.
