Hot The Occupy Mars Starman Shirt
For years, I, like so many other gamers in the pre-Wikipedia age, assumed Atari’s Pong to be the first video game. It made sense; how could such a primitive game have any precedent? But sometime in the early turn of the century, I learned that it wasn’t even the first game by Atari’s engineers, nor was it the first ball and paddle type video game. Nolan Bushnell had cribbed the idea of Pong from Ralph Baer’s Odyssey console closely enough to get sued, and before that created the arcade game Computer Space, a coin operated derivative of the nearly decade-old Spacewar! Spacewar was created in 1962 by MIT scientists for their newly installed PDP-1 mainfram aess.
