The term 'Early Video Game' refers to two classic games from the 1970s and 1980s: PONG (4 letters) and Ms. Pac-Man (8 letters). PONG was one of the earliest arcade video games, released in 1972 by Atari. It was a simple game of table tennis, where two players would use paddles to hit a ball back and forth. Ms. Pac-Man was released in 1981 and was an update to the original Pac-Man game. It featured a female protagonist and added new levels and mazes. Both of these games were incredibly popular and helped to launch the video game industry.
