About the Event

GAME TIME!

This is all about games. Did you know that the first video games were created in the 1950s. Computer scientists created simple electronic games to test early computer’s capabilities. Simple games like Tic-Tac-Toe were played on these computers. Over five million different video games have been published since the 1970s. Once considered just a hobby, gaming has evolved into a cultural phenomenon.
