I saw this article recently and figured it would be an interesting one to share.  Here is the intro from the article...

It wasn't until the evolution of the 2D and 3D graphics techniques that the video game developers were able to create complex and more indulging gaming experiences for the audience to wallow in. Covered here is the timeline progress of the videogame development techniques that revolutionized the gaming experience over the decades.[/font:21ilu8ne]

Amazing to me, seeing how far video games have come over the years. Pong is so simple but still it brings a smile to my face, thinking of how cool it was to play it for the first time. That makes it priceless!

Yes, it is impressive indeed how things have changed.  One cool thing about the article, which I did not mention, is that it links to web-based versions of the games it lists.  :)

Quote from: "TrekMD"So, the links don't work in Tapatalk? That sucks.

Links usually work in Tapatalk, but this one in particular is not.  Can someone repost the link without styles or embellishments?
