MIT students celebrated the golden anniversary of Spacewar! — which is one of the first video games in history — by recreating it on a computer that can be handled on the palm of your hand.
Four students of MIT began creating the game Spacewar! during their free time in 1961 and finished it in February 1962. It was built on the Digital Equipment PDP-1, a computer unit around the size of an ordinary refrigerator. The game features two spaceships attempting to shoot each other down, with one of the spaceships under the control of the player. Massachusetts’ engineering students showcased their work at the museum of MIT. This process of turning a 50-year old game to a modern one is almost likened to digital archeology. » Black Hawk Reviews – Online Games: Spacewar! remake after 50 years |
