'''''Computer Space''''' is the first commercially sold [[Arcade Game]], created by [[Atari|Nolan Bushnell]] and released in November 1971. It's a one or two player version of ''[[Space War]]''. ''Space War'' had previously been software running on [[Mainframes and Minicomputers|$20,000 general-purpose hardware]]; Bushnell's innovation was to use cheap logic chips to create a machine specifically for playing this one game.
