''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 (Video Game)|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.
 
Some versions were one-player against two flying saucers, others were [[Player Versus Player]]. It's a simplified version of ''Space War'', without the planet and gravity. Your ship fires [[One Bullet At a Time]], and you can guide it by turning your ship. In one-player versions, if you [[Scoring Points|score more points]] than the saucers at the end of [[Timed Mission|90 seconds]], you get another 90 seconds of gameplay.
