COMPUTER SPACE (1971)

"In 1971, a Californian entrepreneur named Nolan Bushnell decided to deliver Spacewar! to the masses. Computer Space—essentially Spacewar repackaged—was the first modern coin-operated arcade game."

SPACE WAR! (1962)

Spacewar! is a space combat video game developed in 1962 by Steve Russell in collaboration with Martin Graetz, Wayne Wiitanen, Bob Saunders, Steve Piner, and others. It was written for the newly installed DEC PDP-1 minicomputer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"the popularization of video games is better traced to Steve Russell, a graduate student who studied at MIT in the early 1960s. Russell is commonly credited for creating Spacewar with the help of collabora- tors. In Spacewar, each competitor controlled a spaceship. The players navigated the ships on a flat plane around a central sun (with simulated gravity) and attempted to destroy each other with missiles. In an interview with a reporter from Rolling Stone magazine, Russell described Spacewar not as a game, but as a way to “simulate a reasonably complicated physical system and actually see what is going on.”

Came across this whilst researching my book. Thought it was cool.

Lyle Bickley explains the PDP-1

walk with me. xina and miguel's decade-long friendship and xina's continued attachment to him extends well beyond feeling a certain protectiveness towards him while they were growing up (though this is true). while one of miguel's first on-panel descriptions of xina is of her "twencen freakishness," there was a period of time where miguel must have fully believed in xina's ideas about the past and optimism for the future. it's clear in the text that he spent years actively engaged in and even enthusiastic about her interests—he majored in twentieth century computers. he references the fly and ben-hur out of the blue, and while he couldn't immediately recognize jfk, he otherwise picks up on xina's historical and political references rather seamlessly, and even responds in kind.

so... of course she loved him. for a while, she had a kindred spirit. if the typical thing to do was scoff at fixations on the past, miguel thought her room was cool. miguel wanted to know her. there used to be a boy that... probably looked at her like a lost puppy and was curious about all the things she cared about. he probably watched all those movies with her, read all those books, and got acquainted with the history the state keeps trying to erase. he probably acted like she hung the moon.

Video games! There’s a lot of them! What was the first one? What other games were released in the same year as it? Which of those games is the first Game of the Year? Let’s get into it.
