Great question!
The first video game was called "Tennis for Two" and was developed in 1958 using an oscilloscope. The inventor was named William Higinbotham.
yes the first video game was Tennis for Two but many people think it is pong
am continually amused and yet bewildered at how many people are disillusioned about the origins of the video gaming phenomenon. The majority of people believe PONG to be the FIRST video game and credit Nolan Bushnell as the FATHER of the video game and date the origins of video games to the 1970's. While PONG may have been the first widely POPULAR video arcade game and Nolan Bushnell may be a visionary entrepreneur, PONG was NOT the first video game and Bushnell (who co-founded Atari) was not the inventor and the year was NOT 1972. Depending on who's opinion you trust, there are at least four people who are exhalted as the inventor of the video game. So what I have to say may contradict something you've read. But I am at least certain of the dates. My definition of the "video game" is something that represents screen-based competition.
