History of Massively Multiplayer Online Games $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The history of massively multiplayer online games spans over thirty years and hundreds of massively multiplayer online games (MMOG) titles. In 1974, Mazewar introduced the first graphic virtual world, providing a firstperson perspective view of a maze in which players roamed around shooting at each other. This could be seen as a key progenitor not only of MMOGs but also of First Person Shooters. It was also the first networked game, in which players at different computers could visually interact in a virtual space. The initial implementation was over a serial cable, but when one of the authors began attending MIT in 1974, the game was enhanced so that it could be played across the ARPAnet, forerunner of the modern Internet.
