The History of Video Games: The Question Behind Every World

Описание: The history of video games is the story of how simple experiments became a global creative medium. By the end of this film, you’ll understand why the reason we play never changed, even as everything else did.

From blinking lights in university research labs to arcades filled with quarters, from living-room consoles to PC frontiers, from early 3D worlds to vast online universes, video games evolved across decades of technological change.

But beneath every leap in hardware, graphics, and scale, one thing remained constant: a simple human question. What if? What if play could become a world, a story, a shared experience. This documentary follows that question from its earliest experiments to the immersive games we know today, revealing why video games endured while platforms rose and fell.
