In 1962, the groundbreaking digital video game Spacewar! made its debut on the PDP-1 computer at MIT. This game marked the beginning of video games as we know them today, as it established the essential characteristics and philosophical approaches that define the genre. Inspired by science fiction literature and cinema, Spacewar! pushed the boundaries of technology and gave birth to a new medium and art form. The PDP-1 computer, produced in 1959, is where Spacewar! was created, and it has been meticulously recreated using open source code so that it can be preserved, studied, and enjoyed for generations to come.
