The first computer game ever created was likely Bertie The Brain, a Tic Tac Toe game that was made in 1950. While it was technically not a video game, it was a computer game since it used logic. It only existed for 2 weeks for an exhibition. Before that was something known as the CRT Amusement Device, made it 1947. It was technically a video game, but it was not a computer game. It used basic electronics to produce visual effects, but used no logic circuitry.
In 1951, there was a computer game called Nim that was played on the Nimrod computer. The Nimrod did not use a CRT display (meaning it was not a "video game"), just columns of lights.
Spacewar was one of the earliest digital computer games. It was invented in 1962 by Steve Russell.

∙ 12y agowell, Video Games came before computer games, and the first video game is called "Tennis for Two". The first very popular computer game was for the TRS-80, and it was called "ZORK"
The first computer game was SPACEWAR! on the DEC PDP-1 in 1961. It was written at MIT by Steve Russell. It was so popular that versions of it were ported to almost every computer with a CRT graphic display on it in the 1960s through 1980s from large mainframes down to small microcomputers. Versions of it ran on home computers long before the first ZORK came out.
