[game_preservation] Monthly update coming...soon

[Devin Monnens]

Edge has a Making of Spacewar article? Is that original or is it just a
republication of the one in Supercade? That article has been around in
various forms for awhile, and of course there's the old Stone article. I
can't imagine there would be anything new to say about Spacewar in a gaming
mag that hasn't been said already... That said, I still think there's more
to say about Spacewar, but it ultimately involves more research (hence my
interest in game software on mainframe computers :)
