I'm prepping/away for a business trip this week, which means little chance to write and research and even less time to play Skyrim, which is slowly wrecking the already-limited social life I have. In honor of that, you probably thought that Pong or Spacewar was the first real computer game. Instead, enjoy this video and article from the Brookhaven Lab about Tennis for Two, a computer game developed in 1958.
