ENG/ESP El Inicio de los videojuegos "Tennis-For-Two"- Tenis para Dos #Short

En 1958, William Higginbotham desarrolló un revolucionario videojuego de tenis. Utilizó un Ociloscopio del Laboratorio Nacional de Brookhaven como monitor, conectado a una Computadora analogica.

Este juego, conocido como "Tenis-For-Two", se destaca como el segundo videojuego de la historia, justo detrás del pionero "OXO." Su concepto era simple pero innovador para su época. Presentaba un campo de juego en forma de línea horizontal en la pantalla y una red vertical en el centro, que simulaba un campo de tenis. Los jugadores tenían la emocionante tarea de seleccionar el ángulo de lanzamiento de la pelota y golpearla en el juego.

Aunque hoy en día pueda parecer primitivo en comparación con los gráficos y la jugabilidad de los videojuegos modernos, "Tenis-For-Two" marcó el comienzo de una industria que se ha convertido en un gigante multimillonario. La innovación de William Higginbotham en 1958 allanó el camino para lo que hoy es una forma de entretenimiento de masas, con una base de seguidores apasionados en todo el mundo.

El legado de William Higginbotham y su creación perdura como un hito histórico en la evolución de los videojuegos. Su visión y su capacidad para aprovechar la tecnología de la época para crear entretenimiento interactivo dejaron una huella imborrable en la industria. Por lo tanto, cada vez que nos sumergimos en los mundos virtuales de los videojuegos modernos, es fundamental recordar a aquellos pioneros como Higginbotham, cuyo ingenio y creatividad allanaron el camino para la maravillosa industria de los videojuegos tal como la conocemos hoy.

Este juego siempre me genero muchisima facinacion, siempre quise ver un ociloscopio emulando Tenis para dos, creo que el rebotar de la pelota es hipnotico. Ojala alguna vez pueda mirarlo en carne propia...

Hello fellow members of the Hive universe, here @myth0 with a new post and little video for #Threeshorts and #HiveGaming that I'm bringing in from time to time.

My idea is to reach you a little bit of gamer history to anyone who has interest in knowing something more about video games, telling in small videos a little bit about the first prototypes and consoles that were created.


This time we will delve into the second video game produced if we can call it that. I was always interested in trying it out, indeed, I felt an obsession at one time to look at the device live.


Well, without further introduction. The game I'm going to tell you about today is called Tennis-For-Two.

In 1958, William Higginbotham developed a revolutionary tennis video game. He used an Ocilloscope from Brookhaven National Laboratory as a monitor, connected to an Analog Computer.

This game, known as "Tennis-For-Two," stands out as the second video game in history, just behind the pioneering "OXO." Its concept was simple but innovative for its time. It featured a horizontal line-shaped playing field on the screen and a vertical net in the center, which simulated a tennis court. Players had the exciting task of selecting the launch angle of the ball and hitting it into the game.

While it may seem primitive today compared to the graphics and gameplay of modern video games, "Tennis-For-Two" marked the beginning of an industry that has grown into a multi-billion dollar juggernaut. William Higginbotham](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Higginbotham)'s innovation in 1958 paved the way for what is now a mass form of entertainment, with a passionate fan base around the world.

The legacy of William Higginbotham and his creation endures as a historical milestone in the evolution of video games. His vision and ability to leverage the technology of the time to create interactive entertainment left an indelible mark on the industry. Therefore, whenever we delve into the virtual worlds of modern video games, it is essential to remember those pioneers like Higginbotham, whose ingenuity and creativity paved the way for the wonderful video game industry as we know it today.

This game always generated me a lot of fascination, I always wanted to see an ocilloscope emulating Tennis for two, I think the bouncing of the ball is hypnotic. I hope sometime I can see it in the flesh...

That's all for the occasion. Thanks to @palabras1 who helped me improve the quality of my post I hope it will be more digestible.
Alright, I send you a big hello and a hug.
See you soon, I hope!
