[[File:Computer Space - Vintage Computer Fair 2006.jpg|thumb|296x296px|2-player adaptation of the ''Computer Space'' arcade game]] ''Computer Space'' is a derivative of the 1962 computer game [[Spacewar!|''Spacewar'']]''!'' Eventually [[Nolan Bushnell]], a big fan of this game, decided to transform [[Spacewar!|Spacewar]] into a marketable game.

''Computer Space'' was popular enough for a 2-player version with a green case and [[fiberglass]] cabinet to be released in July 1973. {{video-game-stub}} [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:1970s video games]] [[Category:Shoot 'em ups]]
