The video game industry has come a long way. Today, we enjoy a range of gaming services and subscriptions, making games available at our fingertips. From our mobile phones to next-gen consoles, the industry is expanding like ever. However, back in the old days, things weren’t like this. Before the inception of consoles, there used to be arcade machines. And believe me, people were crazy about it!

Computer Space, the first-ever arcading gaming machine, debuted in 1971 and kickstarted the gaming industry. In fact, it was also the world’s first commercially sold video game. And earlier today, a Reddit user left the community nostalgic when they shared a picture of a Computer Space. Moreover, this iconic 1971 machine belonged to this fan’s grandma. It’s true, a 50-year-old machine, preserved and standing strong.

On May 8th, the Reddit user “u/BlinkAndYourDead” mentioned the same. Take a moment to cherish all three images of the classic machine featured in the post. Boasting a dark green appeal, it’s still well preserved. Through the caption, the Reddit user says: “My grandma has a 1971 Computer space machine. Considered to be the first ever arcade cabinet.”

The grandma must have bought this machine in 1971 or later. In the post’s comment, the user stated the machine boasts boards, keys, and schematics. However, it’s out of order and doesn’t turn on.
