First Spacewar computer game was invented



It was in 1962 when a young computer programmer from MIT, Steve Russell fueled with inspiration from the writings of E. E. "Doc" Smith, led the team that created the first popular computer game. Starwar was almost the first computer game ever written.

A computer game called Spacewar was the last thing DEC expected who later provided the game as a diagnostic program for their customers. Steve Russell never profited from Spacewars.
