Orlando Science Center had a preview of their big Otronicon video game industry event tonight. They had original coin-op games of all sorts. One of them was Computer Space. First commercial game ever. OSC had a working one. Game play wasn't great but can't expect much for 1971. You can see that it was what led to asteroids. http://images.webmagic.com/klov.com/images/C/cComputer_Space.jpg If anyone is in the Orlando area, Otronicon runs through the 29th. www.otronicon.org The show was nothing to write home about. It was mainly a big sales pitch for the local gaming/simulation industry (Full Sail, Dave School, Lockheed and various defence contractors). |

I've always wanted to play Computer Space. I hear that the game sucks, but just for historic value it would be cool. I'm assuming it was still in the original, funky, cab, correct? Too bad I live on the west coast... |
| MajorHavoc:
Try this. Probably as close to the real deal that most of us will ever see. Link now all you need is the funky cab. ;) |
