How long have video games been around

November 29, 1972, Pong is released by Atari as a coin-operated video game machine. That's the first official video game release. But, the first home console was the Magnavox Odyssey, I believe (which was also released in 1972). Things just skyrocketed from there, all the way up to the modern video game consoles of today
