Answer: the first video game was made in 1956 and was called "tennis for two" The game was played using instead of a joystick used in most arcade games, with a "twist knob". the game was shown on a circular screen and the entire system has about 5 towers about 9 feet tall(each) and the display of the game, rather than a black and white pixles, had a blue glow to the "ball"

The very first video game is widely accepted as being "Tennis for Two". It was created in 1958 by William Higinbotham, a nuclear physicist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island in New York.
