A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Deluxe Pool. Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
