The first commercial arcade videogame. It was designed by Nolan Bushnell, who founded Atari not long after this game bombed.

  • It's ery very similar to spacewar

  • Computer Space was a direct attempt by Nolan Bushnell to monetize Spacewar!, a game he had played on a mainframe at the University of Utah.

  • i found one of these in a bar in cyprus 9 years back

  • So that means Pac-Man fever should be hitting Cyprus right about now.

  • oh..come on!..

    this version is a dodgey cheap emulation, it is just plain terrible compared to the original's smooth flowing vectored graphics of the pre-1971 unit...I truly hope that the younger gen that are watching this don't take this as being THE historical version.

    This is bullshit..sorry...fuck off.

  • I wouldn't call this a "dodgey cheap" emulation, I think it's pretty accurate to the original graphics, which weren't vector, by the way. The first vector game wouldn't come until six years later with Space Wars in 1977.

  • lol Nutting

  • it's eve online but more interesting.

  • I saw a white version of Computer Space in the movie, Soilent Green. It would be cool to learn how to sculpt fiberglass and build a replica of the arcade machine, and paint it up with metalflake paint, and few coats of resin. This emulation is about as close as you can get to the original arcade machine. I have this emulation, and it works well even on win 7. ;)

  • a barcade near me hs this game

  • The sound effects for this game is almost as annoying as a lady gaga song.

  • @pme96 So if are imagining that we'll have to eat cats and dogs, that means we won't right? But then I'd have to IMAGINE that we won't be eating them... dammit...

  • DAmn this is eargasm !

  • Man we will never become the Chinese!

  • @royalsteven In 2045 we will be eating dogs and cats to stay alive.......rats too probably. The future is never how you imagine it.

  • @Umma6umma hahahahahhaah :D
