A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Voice of the Soul: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. The timeline takes another interesting turn: 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. So a round of Voice of the Soul is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer video-game history timeline.
