The History of Video Games: For Kids!

By Annabelle Irvin

From a bouncing dot on a science-fair oscilloscope to global esports arenas packed with millions of fans, video games have come a long way - and it didn't happen by accident. The History of Video Games: For Kids traces the whole story: the scientists who built the first playable games just to see if they could, the crash that nearly wiped out the industry overnight, the plumber in a red hat who brought it roaring back, and the consoles, controllers, and communities that followed. Along the way, readers will meet the inventors, rivalries, and breakthroughs that turned a strange lab experiment into one of the biggest forms of entertainment on the planet - and get a clear-eyed look at where it might be headed next. Written for curious young readers who want the real story, not just the highlight reel.
