COMPUTER SPACE ARCADE GAME
NUTTING ASSOCIATES, 1971
With inset video screen and raised panel for controls, in yellow painted fiberglass casing

A derivative of Spacewar!, the game features an instantly recognizable premise of controlling a rocket and firing missiles at UFOs, set against an astral backdrop. Although only about 1500 were made, Computer Space was one of the first commercially available arcade video games and would pave the way for the video game industry.
66 in. (167.6 cm.) high, 26 in. (66 cm.) wide, 32 in. (81.3 cm.) deep
