What were popular games in the 1940s?

Answer 1

No. Videogames came after the computer, which was invented in... Don't quote me on this but call it 1985. So no, with no computers videogames didn't exist, let alone the hardware required to run them.

If I asked this question, sorry, mam or sir. I was referring to more of a computer game which I found on-line; it might have used lightbulbs. Thank you.

Answer 3

The top games of the 1950s were Monopoly, Scrabble, Parcheesi, Risk, Mr. Potato Head (you needed a real potato), Frisbee, Hula Hoop, Slinky (the original metal one), Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs, and Barbie was introduced in 1959. We played with a lot of generic toys like marbles, jacks, modeling clay, water colors, and crayons. We also knew a lot of card games and played them if there were enough people available.

Street games were very popular in the 1950s, weather permitting, we spent the better part of our free time out of doors. Most popular were street or back yard baseball and football (Basketball was not as big in our neighborhood); jump rope and hop scotch were very big, roller skating (with steel wheels) on uneven sidewalks or on parking lots on Sunday (stores weren't open on Sundays in the 1950s), and riding bikes. In winter we went sledding, tobogganing, and ice skating in the streets (they didn't salt the streets back then) and empty lots. If it was too hot to do anything else, we sat on steps and played word games like twenty questions. Little kids played stone school. There was even a group of us that liked to "put on plays" using parents' old clothes for costumes and appropriate front porches for a stage.
