hmmm. who decided to make computers fun? and what was their background?

the first game ever devised on computers was tic tac toe, whcih is almost 10 years older than "Space War", created in 1952 created by a PHD studant, studying a degree in computer and human interaction, A.S. Douglas. an argument could be made that Douglas may not have been the first person to want computers to be fun but the first person to catch onto the idea. http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~edsac/ follow the link to dl the latest verson of A.S. Douglas' game.

the first computer game i had, was a Commodore 64. i loved the retro cassettes. i had a box filled to the brim with cassette tapes. most i had never played so there was always somthng knew. the first game i remember playing from start to finish - after my patients grew - was crash bandicoot. sitting on the living room floor on christmas day with my brand new playstation was 1 of the most memorable experiences but a only a few years later i found a game that i would soon grow to love, Resident Evil. from the first time i played RE i knew id found my favourite genre, survival horrors came and went through many years of excessive gaming, such as parasite eve, alone in the dark and ofcourse resident evil. failing any new releases of survival horrors i attained a PC for the first time in the late 1990s and bought myself a copy of "Baldur's Gate" i soon fell in love with roll playing games and from this point on i considered my PC as my first and formost gaming system. (i later became addicted to FFXI and lost all conscept of time)

the most recent game i have been playing is final fantasy XI but ive been weaning myself off it to play oblivion and to sit and wait for resident evil 5 on ps3 and resident evil biohazard chronicles on the nintendo wii.
