A strange little side quest
A little context makes Ghost Train Ride more fun to place on the gaming map. 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 only half the story. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Ghost Train Ride feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
