Computer Space' was a space combat arcade game, created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in partnership as Syzygy Engineering in 1971. It was the first arcade video game as well as the first commercially available video game. It features a rocket, controlled by the player, engaged in a missile battle with a pair of flying saucers set against a background starfield. The goal is to score more hits than the enemy spaceships within a set time period, which awards a free round of gameplay. The game is enclosed in a custom fiberglass cabinet in one of four colors, which Bushnell designed himself to be futuristic.
