Gaming has come a long way since a physicist invented what’s believed to be the world’s first video game in 1958. “Tennis For Two” was, to say the least, a very basic game. There was a tennis court represented by just two lines: one being the ground, the other being the net. The ball was a mere dot that bounced back and forth. And the game was unable to keep score for players.

Today, there are estimated to be more than 3 billion gamers globally. They’re able to play against each other in real-time, communicate via headsets, and get lost in a virtual world that looks very real. The industry has opened the door to a whole new niche known as video game art. And for some, a career path as a video game illustrator. But no matter how real a video game scene looks, it’s still carefully created.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are real-life photographs that look like they come straight out of a video game or movie scene. Bored Panda has scoured the depths of the ‘net to find the most gamey-looking pics for your scrolling pleasure. Let us know your favorites by upvoting them.
