Classic Arcade

A classic does NOT mean Halo, Battlefield, etc, etc. It means games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Space Invaders. Yeah, the old games. At 1958 the First video game was created by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann on a cathode ray tube.
The first games were Space War, Tennis for two, Galaxy Game, and finally: Pong.Pong is often mistaken as "The first video game". Wrong. it was a missile simulator based on radar displays on world war II, It was created in a cathode ray tube wich used analog displays instead of a digital display. Translation: it was a missile game that was created in a weird thingy and used lasers instead of LEDs.
