I wanted to answer it but that thread is locked.

 

The first videogame was made at MIT (United States) by a post graduate(I think) on an IBM Mark I.  It was set up for a Military Conference to entertain guests.  It was military equipment so the Military could have pattented/secured the inventions for videogames at least in theory.  The game had no title and was essentially a predecessor to Pong.

-edit- oh yeah the year was 1956
