{{Main|Online game}}
[[Online games]] have been part of culture from the very earliest days of [[computer network|networked]] and [[time-share]]d computers. Early commercial systems such as [[PLATO (computer system)|Plato]] were at least as widely famous for their games as for their strictly educational value. In 1958, ''[[Tennis for Two]]'' dominated Visitor's Day and drew attention to the [[oscilloscope]] at the [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]]; during the 1980s, [[Xerox PARC]] was known mainly for ''[[Maze War]]'', which was offered as a hands-on demo to visitors.

Modern online games are played using an Internet connection; some have dedicated [[client (computing)|client]] programs, while [[browser game|others]] require only a [[web browser]]. Some simpler browser games appeal to more casual game-playing demographic groups (notably older audiences) that otherwise play very few video games.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=De Schutter |first=Bob |date=March 2011 |title=Never Too Old to Play: The Appeal of Digital Games to an Older Audience |journal=Games and Culture |language=en-US |volume=6 |issue=2 |pages=155–170 |doi=10.1177/1555412010364978 |s2cid=220317720 |issn=1555-4120}}</ref>
