First computer game - 1961 links here

[Raion]

I played it, and it is fun although short.

But back at that time............................

In a Black Hole, far, far away.
Well, I swung around the Black Hole a few times, ended up in the Black Hole numerous times, and ran out of fuel, and just moved around the screen, out of control, out of fuel, dead in 'space'.

What fun!

Avoid the Black Hole! (and shoot the missiles on the rocket to hit the other rocket or maybe be pulled into the black hole!

((Redone for modern computers and play by Java Applet online))

Mathematical computer game, not like now - engineered! (I'm not sure what that means)

AVOID THE BLACK HOLE!

It's gravity!
