Hard to say. I'll go with Spacewar somewhere in the early 1960s.

ya i'd go with Pong

Arcade cabinents were already all around by the time Pong game out. I dont know what game would have been the first though.

i think it was some basic asteroids games but it might have been a pong type game, it was made in a scientific lab when one of the researchers was messing round with the computer(was f'ing huge), it had a oscilloscope display. I think.

It was actually quite a while before the 60s, it was called Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device and was discovered in 1947, the game itself was lots of dots, you controlled one dot that played the role of a missile or something and you had to move it down to a pile of other dots and when you did that it would simulate an explosion of some sort. I'm not 100% sure about the content of the game itself, but i'm completely sure about it's name and the year
