Title: Computer Space (first coin-op game)

Does this belong in the Computer Games forum?  If not, I'd suggest it be moved to Other.

Has anybody ever heard of Computer Space, the very first coin-operated arcade game from 1971?  It predates Pong by one year.  I stumbled upon a site regarding it here:

Not only that, but I noticed that there's an accurate simulator of that game.  I never thought I'd get to see how the game worked.  Previously, all I had ever seen were static images of the actual arcade game itself.
