| Computer Space |
|
Computer Space was inspired by Spacewar! (1962), the first computerized video game. An emulation of Spacewar!, which uses the Java programming language to emulate the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1 computer (1960), is available from MIT, where the original Spacewar! was created. Because the PDP-1 emulation software is written in Java, the game can be played from within a window of a Java-compatible web browser without any additional software. |
