A strange little side quest
Between one round of Boyfriend Spell Factory and the next, this is worth knowing: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Boyfriend Spell Factory feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
