Block Fever

The best video game of the 70's

This decade was a decade where we could still observe rudimentary games with black and white graphics, flashing green phosphor tube screens.

Computers were destined to a few, mostly companies, but the concept of the personal computer just saw the light of day in this decade to begin to amaze the world.

At this time there were the first video game consoles for the home, although you really did not have a large number of options the industry began to see a clear opportunity in the development of video games and consoles that exploded in the next decade.
