So yeah,move on and get back to our game history.
First shooters, shooters, quests and online games on your computer
From 1971 to 1980, two first-person shooters (Maze War and SpaSim) (two first-person shooters, one in the maze of first-person shooters, one in the maze of first-person shooters, one in the background of space), the first text-based quest Adventure game in the universe of D&D(Dungeons & Dragons), and the first quest game Colossal Cave Adventure were released. The prototypes of network games were created, pictures of text symbols (ASCII-art) appeared.

Also in the mid-1970s, the first home PCs began to appear. There were more and more home-grown programmers and the first books and magazines on programming appeared. By 1975, the slot machine market had been taken over by Atari, Coleco, Magnavox and Sears. And in 1975 Atari released a slot machine "Breakout", in which it was necessary to push away the ball, breaking the dice. That's how the Arkanoid game genre appeared.
Second generation video games (1976-1983)
Console, cartridge, and Apple II computer history (Apple 2)
In 1976, portable data carriers (ROM-cartridges) were created, which allowed not to stitch one game into one computer, but to record games on the cartridges, insert them into special slots and play on one machine in various computer games. These computers have become known as consoles. The first console eventually became the console VES 1976 release of Fairchild, but it did not become particularly popular, unlike VCS, Intellivision, ColecoVision. In 1977, Steve Jobs and his comrades produce a computer for home use Apple II, which also became a platform for creating games on computers.

CS (Video Computer Sistem (Atari 2600)) was released in 1977 and became the most popular of the first consoles. It had an 8-bit processor.
The 1980 Intellivision had a more powerful ten-bit processor than the VCS and a more powerful video chip. In 7 years (1977-1983) more than forty million Atari 2600s were sold.

In 1979, also came into the masses of slot machines Asteroids and Pac-Man. After the release of Pac-Man slot machines began to appear here and there in crowded places (shopping malls, etc.), like mushrooms after the rain.
The Pac-Man game itself blew up the world and the presence of an automaton with this game in the club was an integral part of it, and its popularity was so great that people all over the world knew about it even in the most remote corners of the world.
The first pocket game console - the date of creation, the authors
The first pocket console for games appeared in 1979 with the light hand of the famous American company Milton Bradley, specializing in board games. This device was called Microvision. It boasted a 16 by 16 pixels square monochrome beech screen. Twelve games (two kilobytes each) were created under Microvision. The ColecoVision console appeared in 1982. It was even more powerful than its predecessors, but because of the monopoly of the three main console manufacturers, the market soon collapsed.
So,yeah it`s going to be the end of a second age of video games.There are valuable historical moments, such as the release of the Pac-Man in the light of day and its adoption in society, or Steve Jobs with his breakthrough computer apple 2.Yes, it is said a little, but we are still waiting for the third part of our time!
