Marcus: Maze War - "the first networked, 3D multi-user first person shooter game". It came out in 1973! (Via).
Marcus:
You can download it for Palm too.
justin:
"Maze is the reason why nobody can claim ownership of the rights to the invention of a multi-user 3D Cyberspace and is another of the major gifts to innovation made by early net pioneers."
adam:
Oh, someone will try. Like that idiot in the states who claims he owns the patent on the internet, basically just used some airy wording and the US patent office approved it.
adam:
Reading that website, it goes to show that if you take a bunch of engineers and scientists, and stick them in a room with expensive state-of-the-art equipment, they will find a way of turning it into a game!
