arcade game: Computer Quiz

Founded by Bill Nutting in 1966, Nutting Associates formed after Nutting acquired the patent rights to EDEX Teaching Machines����_�� Knowledge Computer, a coin-operated, multiple-choice, question and answer machine that used a film projector to display questions and a series of buttons for selecting answers. Redesigned and sold as Nutting����_��s Computer Quiz, the game would go on to become perhaps the first arcade game to run on solid state electronics. In an industry sometimes associated with organized crime, Computer Quiz����_��s educational gameplay injected respectability into the coin-operated games business. In 1971, Nutting released Computer Space. Designed by later Atari co-founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, the space shooting game was the first commercial arcade video game.
