Video game players nationwide celebrate this observance with glee and enjoyment. After all, video games are a beautiful blend of art and technology that keep players entertained for hours. The United States National Video Game Team was founded by Walter Day and the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard in 1983. Later on, in 1947, the first patent for an electronic game was filed by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. It was called the “Cathode ray tube amusement Device.” To fully enjoy the spirit of this national day, research the origins and beginnings of the video game industry, and all the ways it has grown and changed since then.
