| | A. | Hmmmm......video games were first created in 1970. In early 1980 they experienced phenomenal growth, but in the mid 1980s the video game market collapsed. It soon recovered several years later with Nintendo's debut as a video game maker. Mario helped draw in gamers and non-gamers alike, raking in millions of dollars, and setting the video game industry on a firm course. Of course, that's just the early history, it's pretty obvious from there what's happened. I mean, everyone has grown up with a Snes, N64, PS1, etc. | | | |
