As a child, I was a great fan of the television program The 21st Century. I have the distinct memory of seeing Spacewar featured in an episode of this program. As I recall, this version of Spacewar was played on a round screen similar to an oscilloscope screen, and when a ship fell into the sun, it immediately reappeared at the edge of the screen. I remember the scientist demonstrating the program saying something to the effect that one day in the not too distant future, computers like this would be available to everyone, and thinking to myself "Yeah, right."
I wonder if archives of The 21st Century exist? I would not be surprised if they contain some interesting historical details and interviews about the technology of that time (1967-1970), including computing and robotics.

I just came across this on Commons. The camera is jittery, but still cool to see it running. Rjjiii ( talk) 04:56, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
