About

We chose to do this project on video games because the of video games is a very fascinating subject, especially the early history as the technology was just emerging and starting to become available. The entire history of video games is a story in of itself, but we chose to focus primarily on the 1980s not only for scale, but also because several important events occurred in that decade, including the infamous video game crash of 1983, along with the release of Nintendo's NES/Famicom, which was believed to have helped revive the video game industry in North America following the video game crash a few years prior.
