Spacewar! - PDP-1 - One of the First Video Games (MIT 1962)

Spacewar! - PDP-1 - One of the first video games. You can slingshot around to read, watch, listen and play the history of Spacewar! at my video game history website The Dot Eaters: https://thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=bi...

We also fill the black hole of information on Space Wars, an arcade version of Spacewar! by Cinematronics: https://thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=bi...

Made by Steve Russell on a PDP-1 minicomputer at MIT, Spacewar! is one of the first video games, in fact the first fully interactive video game. It was designed to show off the power of the PDP-1, entertain fellow students, and get the chicks! (2 out of 3 ain't bad)
