Minecraft is one of the best-selling games of all time 🧱⛏️ and it was created by just one person at first! How cool is that?

The sound “waka-waka” from Pac-Man is super famous 🟡👾 and the game was designed to look like you’re eating pizza slices!

Some video games can actually help your brain think faster and make better choices 🧠⚡ It’s like exercise… but for your mind!

Mario, the famous plumber 🍄👨‍🔧 has been jumping on bad guys and saving Princess Peach since 1981!

There are video game competitions where people win real money 💰 and even trophies — they’re called esports, and some gamers are like superstars!

Some animals in video games are inspired by real ones 🐉🐕 and some are totally made up — like creepers or Pokémon!
