À propos de ce contenu audio

This week on the Everyday History Podcast, Dustin and Boo Boo dive deep into the complete history of video games—told decade by decade, from Cold War laboratories to modern open-world epics.

Video games didn’t start as entertainment. They began as military simulations, scientific experiments, and accidental distractions on million-dollar machines. Over time, they survived industry collapse, moral panics, congressional hearings, and rapid technological change to become the largest entertainment industry in the world.

In this episode, we break down the major milestones that shaped gaming history and explore the cultural impact of era-defining franchises like Fallout, Grand Theft Auto, Assassin’s Creed, and Red Dead Redemption. Along the way, we examine how games reflect nuclear anxiety, capitalism, historical memory, violence, progress, and the slow death of old myths.

This isn’t a console war or a nostalgia trip—it’s a historical timeline of how video games evolved, why they matter, and what they reveal about us.
