Hi Mojo2001.

THANK YOU for this topic.

I am not a geek, but my family members are.

All I have to do is, "Hey, this is not working!" and
pound the keyboard a few times and someone helps
me out.

Here are 2 links I would like to contribute to this thread:

It was in 1962 when a young computer programmer from MIT, Steve Russell fueled with inspiration from the writings of E. E. "Doc" Smith*, led the team that created the first computer game. It took the team about 200 man-hours to write the first version of Spacewar. Steve Russell wrote Spacewar on a PDP-1, an early DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) interactive mini computer which used a cathode-ray tube type display and keyboard input. The computer was a donation to MIT from DEC, who hoped MIT's think tank would be able to do something remarkable with their product. A computer game called Spacewar was the last thing DEC expected who later provided the game as a diagnostic program for their customers. Russell never profited from Spacewars. Spacewar is generally assumed to be the first computer video game.
