About the game

Space War is a video game released in 1978 for Atari 2600. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the first wave of arcade and home gaming.

the first wave of arcade and home gaming was a period of rapid change for the medium: cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. Placing Space War in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
