A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Smash Your Computer: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. It also connects to a different milestone: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That long chain of experiments is part of why video-game history still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
