Computer Space is a video arcade game released in 1971 by Nutting Associates. Created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, who would both later found Atari, Inc., it is generally accepted that it was the world's first commercially sold coin-operated video game of any kind, predating the Magnavox Odyssey's release by six months, and Atari's Pong by one year. It was first location tested at The Dutch Goose in August 1971, then debuted at the MOA show on October 15, 1971, and then officially released in November 1971. Though not commercially sold, the coin operated minicomputer-driven Galaxy Game appeared around the same time, located solely at Stanford University.

haven't played but that cabinet is so awesome

More games should just put a random woman standing next to the game in their advertisements. imagine this lady standing next to WarioWare

This is my personal Dark souls

3 stars for that funky ass cabinet, just look at that thing

Historically important, but unlike Spacewar! the lack of a second human player makes the gameplay loop quickly tiresome.

Not that good, but not that bad either.
