dec 21, 1977 - Space wars

Description:

This game used Buttons: Rotational (left, right) Buttons: 3 Thrust/Fire/Hyperspace and a 10-digit keypad. This also had cooperative play which proved to be very popular which led to many more cooperative games in the future. This was the first video game that used vector graphics made by Cinematronics. Vector graphics were a massive breakthrough at the time allowing for more possibilities that weren't possible before.
