In 1958 William Higinbotham, a member of the team that developed the first nuclear bomb, created the first interactive analog computer game "Tennis for Two". The game was played on an oscilloscope using two custom controllers, where players hit the ball over a net.
Higinbotham has been referred to as the "Grandfather of Video Games".
