Video games and gaming has been around for a long time now. The first gaming console was released in the '70s, but gaming took off in the 90s especially. Since then, gaming has evolved in ways that were unimaginable in the past. Systems and games are very advanced these days; gaming has evolved tremendously. Graphics are perfect, storylines are intense, and people can play together when they are millions of miles apart. It's pretty amazing to see how far things have come.

It's pretty fun, though, to look back and remember how gaming began. Many adults remember opening up their first system on Christmas day. Many people have fond memories of the classic games they spent hours playing as kids, whether that be at home or at the arcade. It's cool to see how things have changed.

Take a look back on the true roots of gaming as the world knows it today. Here are 25 nostalgic images that perfectly showcase what gaming was like just a few decades ago.
