As promised here is the second installment in my riveting adventure through the history of computing and the gaming industry that has a direct correlation to it. in this post i will be exploring the success stories that have shaped the modern era and those that haven't  i will begin with the success stories, it first began in 1939 with the oscilloscope this was mainly for military use age, which is the main progresses off technology in this field with this device, one that used the cathode ray. 
For the next advancement we go to 1970 and not to a device but a company, a company called xerox, this company did not only make computers but were responsible for advancements such as the Ethernet cable and laser printers. 
From the advancements of computing comes the advancements in computer games such as that in 1979 with maze wars, the first LAN FPS. and halfway through the 1970's advancements in home computing were skyrocketing with the apple 2 in 1977 and the Atari VCS prototype the first working cartridge gaming device.
And there we are my incredibly brief look back at the history of computers and computer games.
