Computer Space
TCW Podcast Episode 158 - Computer Space Computer space is a game steeped in mystery and myth. The game is a reimagining of Space War. Developed through a partnership between Nutting Associates and Syzygy, Computer Space went on to have modest success. The game is viewed as having little to no impact. In this episode, we explore how Computer Space had much more influence. The game had a lot of tangible impact with the expansion of Aladdin's Castle. Computer Space also had a great run in Ithaca, NY. Furthermore, it had the first radio advertisement for an arcade video game!
