Imagine having this in your front room. It's the PDP-1, the system which ran the first-ever computer game.
Built by the Digital Equipment Corporation in 1960, the computer stored data in punched paper tape and had 9KB of memory.
The computer is on show as part of the Game On exhibition at London's Science Museum. The exhibition follows the development of computer gaming from its origins to present day.
