Answer 2

"Spacewar"
In 1961 a young computer programmer from MIT, Steve Russell led a team that created the first computer game. It took the team about 200 man-hours to write the first version of Spacewar. They wrote Spacewar on a PDP-1 which was a donation to MIT from DEC, who hoped MIT's think tank would be able to do something remarkable with their product.

The PDP-1's operating system was the first to allow multiple users to share the computer simultaneously. This was perfect for playing Spacewar, which was a two-player game involving warring spaceships firing photon torpedoes. Each player could maneuver a spaceship and score by firing missiles at his opponent while avoiding the gravitational pull of the sun. Russell transferred to Stanford University, where he introduced computer game programming and Spacewar to an engineering student named Nolan Bushnell, who went on to write the first coin-operated computer arcade game and start Atari Computers .

"In 1962, a computer programmer from MIT, Steve Russell, led the team that created the first computer game which took 200 man-hours to write the first version. Steve Russell wrote Spacewar on a PDP-1, an early interactive mini-computer that used cathode-ray tube display and keyboard input. The PDP-1's operating system was the first to allow multiple users to share the computer simultaneously. This was perfect for playing Spacewar, which was a two-player game involving warring spaceships firing photon torpedoes. Each player could maneuver a spaceship and score by firing missiles at his opponent while avoiding the gravitational pull of the sun. By the mid-sixties, when computers were still very expensive, Spacewar could be found on nearly every research computer in the country."
