Evolution Of Graphic Games reminds us of that line from the mouths of gaming muggles, “Gameplay kaisa bhi ho Graphics important hai bhai game mein.”

 

 

For every non-gamer, a game is judged by the game graphics. No one cares about the gameplay or story. Graphics is what keeps a player hooked. The first moving graphics game was invented by Physicist William Higinbotham in October 1958, named Tennis for Two. And so here begins the blog on Evolution Of Graphic Games:
