What was the first video game to have customizable features?

I'm writing a paper on games with customization and how players view them versus other games for my college class. I wanted to include a bit on the first game that had a customizable option or two and I would like to know which one that was. I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know or have an idea of at least one of the earlier games if not the first?

ThanksWhat was the first video game to have customizable features?I'd research the early RPGs. Advanced Dungeons %26amp; Dragons, Dragon Quest, eventually Final Fantasy for Nintendo pretty much were the peaks of customization in the early days.What was the first video game to have customizable features?Define customization.



Do you mean being able to equip different items or weapons in a game to accomplish some task or solve a puzzle? If so, then even the earliest adventure/RPG games had this feature going all the way back to titles like Adventure, or Rouge, Wizardry, Ultima (the first one that is) etc.



Or do you mean the ability to use an editor of some sort (either in-game, or as a separate program) to create new items, characters, or entire new levels, for use within a game? If so, that goes back pretty far as well. I can certainly remember playing games like "Arcade Machine", "Adventure Construction Set" and "Pinball Construction Set" back in the mid-80s on the Apple (similar titles were also available on other home PCs at the time too.) These weren't games per se, but tool kits to build an entire game from the ground up. You created the characters, the graphics, animations, rules, etc.



Truth be told, today's games may have better graphics than those from 20 and 30 years ago, but honestly, not a whole lot has changed since then in terms of basic game concepts and construction.What was the first video game to have customizable features?I believe it was IRL with the second expansion. Before that it was kind of repetitive hunting, hiding, sleeping. Not much with customisability, but you never got spam. ah the good old day.|||the first "good" game with lots of customizations was Call of Duty 4.
