For those who don’t know about the video game, it was a space-themed title called Blastar. Elon developed it in the year 1983. The title format was similar to any other retro game from that era. It required the players to blast as many alien freighters as possible. They also had to dodge lethal hydrogen bombs and status beam machines. Musk’s game was inspired by a previously released title called Space Invaders from 1978.

Young Elon Musk eventually sold his game to a technology magazine called PC and Office in 1984. He was paid $500 back then. Surprisingly, Blastar didn’t get much recognition until 2015. It was the year when Bloomberg published a book on him alongside the picture of his code from the magazine.
