History of

HOW IT BEGAN?
In October 1958 Physicist
William Higinbotham created
what is thought to be the first
video game. It was a very
simple tennis game, similar to
the classic 1970s video game
Pong, and it was quite a hit at
a Brookhaven National
Laboratory open house.
03
How the idea
arose?
in October Brookhaven held
annual visitors’ days, during
which thousands of people
would come tour the lab.
Higinbotham was responsible
for creating an exhibit to show
off the instrumentation
division’s work.
Most of the existing exhibits
were rather dull. Higinbotham
thought he could better capture
visitors’ interest by creating an
interactive demonstration.
he had thought “it might liven up the place to
have a game that people could play, and
which would convey the message that our
scientific endeavors have relevance for
society.”
