Spacewar! Lives Again

hws writes "A DEC PDP1 emulator running the original version of Spacewar! is online here. A group at MIT created a PDP1 emulator in Java. The original Spacewar! sources were assembled with a PDP1 Assembler written in Pearl. The emulator, assembler and game sources are available at this site. For those of you too young to remember, Spacewar! is probably the first video game and was done back in 1962. It and the scene that spawned it were extensively covered in Steven Levy's book - Hackers."
