the first video and computer games, such as nimrod (1951), oxo (1952), and spacewar! (1962), were for one or two players sitting at a single computer which was being used only to play the game. later in the 1960s, computers began to support time-sharing, which allowed multiple users to share use of a computer simultaneously. systems of computer terminals were created allowing users to operate the computer from a different room than where the computer was housed. soon after, modem links further expanded this range so that users did not have to be in the same building as the computer; terminals could connect to their host computers via dial-up or leased telephone lines. with the increased remote access, "host based" games were created, in which users on remote systems connected to a central computer to play single-player, and soon after, multiplayer games.
