This was my first and also favorite game circa 1978 and something that really started me along the path to computers. It had really great bass sounds. I recall being on a school trip to Niagara falls and slipping away into an arcade with a school friend to play this instead of going on the falls tour... It's funny how you were embarrassed for him. He probably wasn't embarrassed. Maybe he was right!

In the end, it was Bruce Baumgart, winner of the 1972 "Intergalactic Spacewar Olympics" described in the Stewart Brand article "Spacewar — Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums"? Probably the only person bearing the title "best Spacewar player in the world" with some legitimacy… ;-)
