Spacewar!

Spacewar! is a pioneering space combat video game that emerged in 1962, a collaborative effort led by Steve Russell along with Martin Graetz and Wayne Wiitanen. Russell served as the primary programmer, receiving valuable assistance from individuals such as Bob Saunders and Steve Piner. Initially designed for the newly installed DEC PDP-1 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Spacewar! quickly transcended its origins.
