Originally built in Scratch 1.3. Player 1 A and D for steering. W for forward. S to fire. Player 2 Arrow keys for steering. Up arrow for forward. Down arrow to fire.
I revised this game from the version created by The 88: Added the ability to float through screen (like the original) and offered more interactive looking sprites. I also created rapid fire, which is truer to the original game. (Play here: http://www.computerhistory.org/pdp-1/play_spacewar.html) Spacewar! is one of the world's first video games. Spacewar! was conceived in 1961 by Martin Graetz, Stephen Russell, and Wayne Wiitanen. It was first realized on the PDP-1 in 1962 by Stephen Russell, Peter Samson, Dan Edwards, and Martin Graetz, together with Alan Kotok, Steve Piner, and Robert A Saunders.
