Answer 1

it was some tennis video game made in the 60s. Also a game called spacewar was created.

Also, in 1958, a man named William Higinbotham claimed he created the first video game which was a tennis one. To this day no one has claimed to create one earlier than Higinbotham. The Cathode Ray tube was considered to be
the arcade game that he created.. Pong would not be the first, that wasnt created until about the 70s

Answer 2

A device called the Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device was patented in the United States by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. The patent was filed on January 25, 1947 and issued on December 14, 1948. It described using eight vacuum tubes to simulate a missile firing at a target and contains knobs to adjust the curve and speed of the missile. Because computer graphics could not be drawn electronically at the time, small targets were drawn on a simple overlay and placed on the screen.
