Computer Space (1971)

Producer: Nutting (USA)

Computer Space was the first computer game to be produced in series. Like the Galaxy Game, it was a replica of Spacewar!. However, unlike Spacewar!, there was no complete computer inside. The game was built into an existing circuit. The output device was a customary television set, which cost much less than the computer monitors available in those days.

Computer Space was produced by the arcade game manufacturer Nutting. It was developed by Ted Dabney (USA) and Nolan Bushnell (USA). The two men had recently founded the company Syzygy, which listed its business objective as the “development of video game machines.”
