The thing that gets me about Spacewar is how gorgeous it looked compared to games released even much much later. The CRT effects and vector graphics really lift that game to a whole other level that pixel rendering and sprites could never match (and this is coming from someone who loves the pixel art of retro games). As much I sometimes grown when I hear people talking about CRT emulation of classic computers and games consoles, if there was any game that would benefit from CRT emulation it would be Spacewar!
