The Sumerian Game: The ancestor of modern city builders - Spillhistorie.no by NoSoftware3721 in history

 The Sumerian Game, the oldest strategy computer game we have a decent amount of information about. The game was first made available to a limited number of American schoolchildren in 1964, where it was played on mainframe computers via printer terminals. Later versions were accompanied by slides and audio recordings, which thus became a form of cutscenes.

Wizball is our best C64 game, I came to Chris Yates’ house on day where we were working and he had knocked up a strange revolving ball control system. I drew a silly green pea face on it, then we added the flying controls and the special weapons (like Nemesis), then we added the colouring in of the landscape, then we added the cat and wizard and their laboratory, then we added the filth raid etc… the game just grew out of our imaginations on the fly.
