Meanwhile, Nolan Bushnell, the daughter's room transforms into aworkshop and adjusting the game Spacewar, Steve Russell,created Computer Space, the first arcade in the world. Since mainframes were expensive and took too much space, Bushnellcreated the Computer Space, a machine just to play Spacewar.The experience goes right and he is able to sell the news. TheNutting Associates is interested and hires Bushnell, temporarily,to assemble the arcades of Computer Space. Bushnell laterleaves the company to found Atari.
