Edsac (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator in 1949) and OXO (Tic-Tac-Toe game in 1952)

The world's first stored-program computer to operate a regular computing service built in 1949. The only you can really play is tic-tac-toe. All others does the mathematical calculations such as recipricals, TPK, and others. I couldn't get it to calculate squares or cubes. At least I got it to demonstrate OXO, the Tic-Tac-Toe Game made for this machine in 1952. Probably the only game for this machine. More of a basic computer game than a video game since it did not use video signals.
Emulation is only 99% accurate.

Maybe maintenance is being done. Try again at a later time. It may work again.

[pocho31]

Are there any cheats for this game?

@pocho31

Unfortunely, No.

[GladeSwope]

Is there any way to make it play against itself?

Wow, NASA's first sixteen bit computer got them to the moon and back. We were first though and we got ours to play tic tac toe! Just about sums us up really.
