Released in 1998, Ocarina of Time was the first major 3D adventure game. Its camera system, dungeon design, and exploration became the template for 3D action games.

Video games went from a blinking dot on a screen in 1972 to a $200 billion industry in 50 years. The history is a story of technology, creative leaps, market crashes, and the democratisation of interactive entertainment into the world's largest cultural medium.
