Computer Space
Computer Space, the first coin-operated video arcade game, is the brainchild of Nolan Bushnell. It is based on Spacewar!, a mainframe computer game developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. By the end of the 1960s, it was widely known by computer researchers.
Bushnell waited for computer components to become smaller and cheaper, adn then marketed Computer Space in a coin-operated version. Unfortunately, Bushnell overestimated the public's ability to handle what, at the time, must have seemed like a very complex electronic game. Buttons and knobs controlling thrust and gravity were a novelty to players accustomed to pinball flippers. In addition, the game did not survive the conversion of Spacewar!, which utilized an expensive vector monitor, into a game played on a store-bought television. While Computer Space was not a commercial success, Bushnell used the $500 he earned from it to found Atari.

We took the kids bowling today at the Cove.
We only bowled. They begged & begged to do the mini-golf & video games & snack bar too. What? Are we made of money! Just kidding, the kids were excited & over stimulated.

This was the last game played on Move-In day, before the machine was moved to a safe storage location, while the Battle of Oak Street went down one block away.
