1962 First computer game & word processor

1962 First computer game & word processor
Steve Russell at MIT invents Space war, the first computer game running on a DEC PDP-1.
Because the PDP-1 had a typewriter interface,  editors like TECO (Text Editor and Corrector) were written for it.
Steve Piner and L. Peter Deutsch produced the first word processor called Expensive
Typewriter (MIT's PDP-1 cost $100,000).
