It was more a question of establishing a place for textual narrative in games. There's more textual content in a modern single-player CRPG than there was in the largest Infocom games, for instance. That thread was first stretched on the loom by Crowther and Woods.

Space War was more of an oscilloscope game than a computer game, and it didn't resemble Space Invaders much, but it was the first sighting of a brand-new art form. So you'd definitely have to grant it some cred in an argument regarding the history of computer/console gaming. More so than Princess Maker, whatever that is/was.

That is WAY too many syllables to facilitate communication with the person you're responding to, or to do any sort of justice to his posts. Let's get ChatGPT to do the thinking so TalonOne doesn't have to:

Let me set out what went on. Musk first did two bold waves like those of old Rome.
They did not start at his heart but on the left of his chest. Then, when he was done,
he put his hand on his heart and said, 'My heart is with you.'

It is plain what hate men thought of Musk's deed. The snag is that it is hard
to tell what was meant from this one fact. If you had wished to show a Rome wave
and let all know, there is not much you can do to make it seem more plain than that.
I do not think that the act on its own wins the case, but when it is seen with what came
first and what came next -- like talks with A-F-D on the loss of Germ folk ways
and with lies that say the Jews kill the white race -- then the act seems the same.
