    Has anyone ever played Spacewar? It is supposedly the first game ever designed, and so is the great grandfather (1960, I think) of our biggest hobby. It was made by...uh...Steve "Slug" Russell... I think... so who's played it?

    I loved it. That and the original Star Trek, now I got to go through my old 720K floppies and see if I can find a copy.

    I played it years ago on a 386 (whatever was at the highschool). Two ships, and you could turn on a planet in the middle.

    That, and Scorched Earth. *MANY* lunch breaks of Scorch...
