This video details the artistic evolution of online gaming over the past fifty years. Online gaming did not just start with recent classics like Minecraft. Very rudimentary games were possible going as far back as the 1950s. By the time the 1970s came around technological improvements allowed for the addition of graphics in games such as Pong.
