Early Pioneers of Gaming
What's the very first video game
Depending who you ask, the answer's not the same
Well I guess that's really quite debatable
But here's the ones that made them playable
Atari wowed the world with Pong
Nintendo jumped on board with Donkey Kong
Namco had Pacman and Galaxian
They flew us out to space and back again
They were legends that you won't hear about
In your high school history class
They were heroes that you're not gonna see
On the daily news broadcast
They left all the nerds exclaiming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
William Higgibotham, 1958
Designed a new way for tennis to be played
I guess it was forgotten for a long time
They took it all apart in '59
The years went by and arcades were the place to be
Games from Midway, Williams, Taito, and Konami
In the 80s, they saw their biggest test
Miyamoto from Nintendo saved us with the NES
They were legends that you won't hear about
In your high school history class
They were heroes that you're not gonna see
On the daily news broadcast
They left all the nerds exclaiming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
They were legends that you won't hear about
In your high school history class
They were heroes that you're not gonna see
On the daily news broadcast
They left all the nerds exclaiming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
Depending who you ask, the answer's not the same
Well I guess that's really quite debatable
But here's the ones that made them playable
Atari wowed the world with Pong
Nintendo jumped on board with Donkey Kong
Namco had Pacman and Galaxian
They flew us out to space and back again
They were legends that you won't hear about
In your high school history class
They were heroes that you're not gonna see
On the daily news broadcast
They left all the nerds exclaiming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming

On the daily news broadcast
They left all the nerds exclaiming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
Hooray for the early pioneers of gaming
