Read the passage.

Video games were first invented in the mid 1950's, but it took quite a few years before they were available for purchase by consumers. The first video game, Pong, was manufactured by Atari. It became a huge hit in the 1970's, even though it was just a simple tennis-style game that bounced a single ball back and forth between two paddles. The author's purpose in this passage is to:

describe

entertain

inform

persuade

I think its inform but I'm not 100% sure
