Galaxy Game, the First Coin-Operated Video Game, Draws Fresh Interest

Original: Galaxy Game

Galaxy Game, a space combat game developed at Stanford University in 1971, is being discussed as one of the earliest arcade video games, predating the commercial release of Computer Space. Built as a student project on a minicomputer, it charged players to compete in a two-ship duel and is remembered as a landmark in gaming history.

Why now: A museum blog post about the pioneering 1971 arcade game has renewed attention on the origins of video gaming.
