40 years ago, the world's first commercially sold coin-operated video game and video game system of any kind called Computer Space was released by its creator Nolan Bushnell, the same guy that was a founder of Atari and Chuck E' Cheese.
Computer Space was never a success, but it did lead to the release of Nolan's hugely successful game Pong in 1972.
You can enjoy a blast from the past with a new emulator that has been released, available at http://www.computerspacefan.com/NewCompSpaceSim.htm
Pong~!!! Oh lordy, that IS a blast from the past!
I miss the "tabletop" games , you could sit down and place your drink on it ( can of coke back then ... diet coke came latter , I got sophisticated! - LOL ) and play against a hot straight boy for hours.
I still play video games (xbox360) , wish they would come out with one where the angry photographer get's revenge on the "no show" model until then I'll just have to settle for tracking down "super model raiders" in the wasteland - fallout 3
congrats on your 40th video gaming industry! :kiss cheek:
