ORIGIN OF GAMING
The earliest known interactive electronic game was
by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann on
a cathode ray tube in 1947. The game was a missile
simulator inspired by radar displays from World War
II. It used analog circuitry to control the CRT beam
and position a dot on the screen.

TIC-TAC-TOE,MOUSE MAZE
 In 1957–1961, a collection of interactive graphical
programs were created at MIT.
 Mouse in the Maze allowed users to use a light pen to
place maze walls, dots that represented bits of cheese.
 Tic-Tac-Toe used the light pen as well to play a simple
game of noughts and crosses against the computer.

GAMING CONSOLE
 A Video Game Console is an interactive
entertainment computer or customized computer
system that produces a video display signal which can
be used with a display device
(a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game.

INSIDE GAME SYSTEMS
 USER CONTROL INTERFACE
 Allows the player to interact with the video game
 Without it, a video game would be a passive medium,
like cable TV
• CPU
 Reads The Input,Processes It,And
Carries Out The Instructions
 Most Important Component Of The
Gaming Console

 RAM
 Provides Temporary Storage Of Games As They're Being
Played.
 Without RAM, even the fastest CPU could not provide
the necessary speed for an interactive gaming
experience.
 SOFTWARE KERNEL
 The Console's operating system.
 Provides the interface between the various pieces of
hardware.

 GRAPHIC PROCESSORS
 Provides Specialized Mapping, Texturing And Geometric
Functions
 Controls Video Output

ORIGIN OF GAMING CONSOLES
 Magnavox released the first home video game
console which could be connected to a TV set—
the Magnavox Odyssey, invented by Ralph H.
Baer.
 The Odyssey uses a type of removable printed
circuit board card that inserts into a slot similar to
