It's all there in the title :P This game helped birth the video game! Following this, the Magnavox Odyssey was released on 1972, making it the world's FIRST home video game console! Than came the Fairchild Channel F, then the Atari 2600 and the rest is history!

One of the most important video games of all time!

How did a 52 year-old game manage to humble me?

This game is a historic relic and has surprisingly smart AI for when AI should not have been a thing. I can even control where my projectile goes.
Computer Space is the first commercially sold video game from 1971 and the first to be used as a prop in a motion picture (Soylent Green from the same year). You fight against two flying saucers who shoot projectiles at you that are shockingly difficult to avoid, and you the player are a rocket ship whose job it is to shoot back. It works like Pong where the number of spaceships successfully shot at get progressively higher and vice versa for the computer opponent.
