It had been years since I played Space War on my Atari 2600. The much storied game was a must-have because I had heard tales of the original Space War being played on earlier computer systems. I got it maybe for my birthday, took it home, played it for 30 minutes vs. my friend and put it on the shelf. I remember it being underwhelming at best. Still, Space War haunts me. I saw footage of it before I owned my Atari 2600, even in the early 1980s it was legendary. Could it be that I had not given the game a proper shake? I sat down to find out last night.
