Once upon a time (in 1972), computer programmers created Pong, a table tennis game, often found inside of tables in bars and restaurants. After Pong came Pac-Man. A number of other games followed. Soon the games were sold as cartridges that plugged into game consoles hooked up to computer monitors, most of which worked on a system invented by Atari. But home computer graphics did not compare with the developing arcade game market. The video arcade became the perfect environment for the postmodern adolescent. It was a place where the loud noises, flashing colors and rapid anything can happen now actions of the screen world mirrored the one in which the games were located. In these ways, the games were similar to pinball. Nevertheless, by 1985, sales were waning and the video game craze seemed to be just another passing fad
