    Episode 139 - HUTSPIEL

    Advent of Computing · Sep 15, 2024 · 1 h 06 min
    Episode page

    The early history of computer games is messy, weird, and surprising. This episode we are looking at HUTSPIEL, perhaps one of the oldest games ever played on a computer. It's a wargame developed to simulate nuclear conflict... and it's 100% analog. Join us as we find out just what tax dollars were being used for in 1955.
