Spacewar


Spacewar! Is one of the earliest known digital computer game was developed Steve Ruessell. Steve Russell is an American programmer and computer scientist, most famous for creating Spacewar!. This game can be played up to two players, one of the player gets to control ship called “the needle and “ the wedge” attempting to shoot one another.  The control mechanics include clockwise and counter clockwise rotation, thrust fire, and hyper space. Basically these were controlled using the front-panel switches ( controller input) is intergrated with the monitor. Over the years, a lot of people were insipired by Spacewar!, the game was all about having fun and strategy skills. That core has led to developers and transcend into better visual, not only visual but improve the mechanics. There are so many spaceship games are out there, because of  spacewar! has good influence of war style,  war means battle, and it can be anything as long there is a confliction or collide against each other. Slowly over the years the developers have adapted their own style of games such as Air Buster a shoot em up arcade develop by kaneko and it was published in 1990. Rather having war
