Seeker: The Video Game Revolution

After reading Stephen Kline’s “Origins of an Industry” and discussing it in class, I became more curious about the history of video games. While perusing the Internet, I stumbled across a very interesting site by PBS. This site, entitled “The Video Game Revolution,” contains five major sections. Although all five are relevant, the one that caught my attention was the first one, which deals with the history of video games and how they have become “an integral part of our culture.” Within this section is an interactive timeline of the history of video games. Also within this section is a display of the “memorable triumphs and spectacular failures” throughout the history of video games, according to seven notable gamers. It is certainly something that is worth checking out.
