1972 was a very special year for everyone who will be reading this right now and most of you will have no idea why... It's not a historical date in human history but it was the year in which the video games industry was born. The release of the first ever home video games console - the Magnavox Odyssey - was met with widespread acclaim and helped revolutionise home entertainment. A few years the Odyssey had a competitor, developed by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, Pong brought some much needed competition to the market which in turn jump started the entire gaming industry.
