What Is Computer Space?
Computer Space was the first coin operated video arcade machine and was released in 1971.
Computer Space is a very rare game (about 1,500 were built) and there are no ROMs or emulators available, so I recreated the game. I spent a lot of time getting the details precise to bring as much of the original gameplay to this as possible. It took me a bit longer to complete than I'd planned (what doesn't), but the game is finally complete.
MAME, Hyperspin, MaLa
Computer Space was designed for incorporation into most MAME/Arcade front end systems, like Hyperspin and MaLa. If your FE of choice can run EXE files than you can run Computer Space, no problem.

Ultra-HD Graphics! ;)
I fixed the look of the saucers a little bit. Subtle but I wanted it to be accurate.

One is the real game:

I've been away from the forum for awhile but have finally wandered back since i quit being lazy for awhile and actually managed to work on and actually fire up my cabinets.
props to you sir for undertaking this project. I have thought (like most of us who end up seeing computer space) of making one of the cabinets. For anybody that actually does, this is an excellent solution.
I do have one question though about the mac version. before i download it, what is the oldest version of osX that is supported? I've a mac mini getting shoved into a bondi blue imac running 10.7 for the wife. I might put this on there.

This should run on your Mac machine.
All of my previous games run on my old Mac Mini that (IIRC) is running Snow Leopard.
One thing about the Mac version: It is best run on a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor (as opposed to widescreen), otherwise the screen will stretch rather than adding black bars as in Windows. I tried to fix this but did not.

Congrats on getting to 1.0! Runs fine for me, but that doesn't change the fact that I suck at it.
rovingmind:
awesome, happily the 90's era imac had a 14" crt in it, i've shoehorned in a 4:3 lcd panel so it should be hunky dory. I'll probably have to wait until after halloween to give it a go on that machine.
