Topic: The History of Video Games

Catalog description

From Pong to PlayStation, video games have become part of our history and represent not only a progression in technology but also changes in our cultural and societal attitudes. We will learn about the groups who made games and the groups that would endeavor to ban and censor them. This course covers a time period from 1960 – 2000 and offers students an opportunity to get hands-on experience with original video game consoles and other artifacts spanning those decades.
