Uh... Spacewar was an old PDP-1 game. It predates DOS by a little bit. And the microprocessor. And DRAM. And raster displays (the output was two analog channels fed to a raw CRT). It was essentially everyone's favorite computer game (everyone who knew what a computer game was) back around 1962.


And Spacewar even introduced the concept of "hyperspace" (don't let Atari ever tell you different)
