The first computer game ever made that changed the course of PC gaming history was called Spacewar. Back in 1962 when it was first introduced by MIT, it took a computer the size of a small car to run. As technology increased at a rapid rate, so did the computer hardware, graphics cards and overall game quality. Some of the best selling PC games since 1993 are listed here in a timeline from HP computers. You can see that in 2011 Minecraft was a top seller. With its simple game play and basic graphics, it easily outsold more advanced games that year showing that it isn't always about the fancy packaging, but the pure enjoyment a player gets from playing the game instead.
