One of the earliest computer-based video games, SpaceWar! was developed in 1962 by a group of MIT students exploring possible applications for the newly-donated DEC PDP-1 computer. This addictive game encouraged interaction between people and machines and ignited interest in computers on many college campuses nationwide. 🚀 Did you know that you can experience a PDP-1 running Spacewar! at the Computer History Museum? 👀 Imagery credits: Digital Equipment Corporation, Grey Lensman by Ric Binkley
