 Retroblast! reader Kevin pointed this out to us.
A group of contributors has gotten together and put together a timeline of events in Video Arcade history. The timeline starts in 1971 with the commercial release of Galaxy Game: "Installed in Tresidder Union in September 1971, the game was quickly and enthusiastically embraced by the Stanford community, with players often waiting for over an hour for their next turn. Galaxy Game is a reprogrammed version of Spacewar!, which was conceived in 1961 by Martin Graetz, Stephen Russell, and Wayne Wiitanen and first realized on the PDP-1 at M.I.T. in 1962" I'm sure there's some inaccuracies to the list, but it's still a very cool way to check out the history of arcade games. Kudos to the folks at Dipity for coming up with a way cool technology, or at least, putting it to good use. And thanks to Kevin for bringing it to our attention! Video Arcade Timeline
