I’d count 3D Monster Maze on ZX-81 and even Hunt the Wumpus as Survival Horror, they were earlier than Sweet Home.

Nice, but a correction is needed for Atari Football. The 2600 came out in March of 79 the arcade version was in October of 78.
As for Basketball I'd say that TV Basketball is just a Pong variant rather than a proper basketball like 79's Atari Arcade version.
I say this cause if you consider TV Basketball as the first then your choice for Hokey, American Football, and Football is was off too. Ramtek, Sega, Atari, Exidy, and many others made other sports games that are similar to "TV Basketball", but listed them as those other sports. The ball just jumps around randomly with the player just acting like springboards in a pong like fashion (a fixed position too). They can't grab nor truly control the ball.

The old-school "mutli-room dungeons" (aka MUDs) predated World of Doom by quite a few years. The networked mutliplayer versions were long before Neverwinter Nights too.

aside from the handful of seemingly incorrect entries, It's an ok video.

Haunted House from 1972 would like to have a word with you about the 1st horror game.

[@Mrshoujo]

Haunted House on the Atari 2600? Much later than 1972.

The first hockey game is pretty impressive for the time.

[@MaxOakland]

Needs voice over and sound from the game instead stock music

[@BucolicInsights]

Nice vid, man. Btw, I always thought that Alone In The Dark was the original survival horror.

[@NigelXW]

Wonderful video!

[@kandigloss6438]

Lol, there are so many incorrect entries in this. but then again, like many of these videos I'm sure it was made to bait clicks and not to actually present correct information.

What is the music in the video?
