    The first video games were created in the 50s, and the precursors to them (like slot machines) are decades older. We are probably pretty close to that already.

        I disagree. It’s more like correctly pointing out that fax machines were invented in the 1800s for the telegraph despite that they weren’t used that much for decades.

      They might have existed, but few people actually played them or even knew about them then. Slot machines don’t count, no video!
