    No one really knows for sure who invented the very first video game, but it is believed to have been a man by the name of William Higinbotham. William Higinbotham created a game called Tennis for Two back in 1958 and this game is very similar to the popular Atari game called Pong. He created this game in an oscilloscope to entertain visitors to his lab where he worked as a scientist. Tennis for Two was a two-dimensional, side view of a tennis court which was displayed on an oscilloscope. It had a cathode-ray tube similar to a black and white TV. He was born on October 25, 1910 and passed away on November 10, 1994. So, it is not known for sure if this was the first video game or not, but no other people have come forward claiming that they had invented something earlier than 1958.
