When
31 January 1962
In 1962 Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) students Steve Russell, Martin Graetz and Wayne Wiitanen used the PDP-1 mini-computer donated by its manufacturer, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), to create Spacewar!, the first shooter game. The two-player title was viewed on a type 30 cathode ray tube monitor, which displays images that are composed of drawn lines as opposed to a grid of glowing pixels that comprise the raster, or video graphics that make up the image on on TV screens, and gave players control one of two small, shooting spaceships. The goal was to destroy your opponent.
