I finally managed to identify Martin Graetz's original hyperspace routine, featuring the "hyperspace Minskytron signature" (as described and depicted in "Origin of Spacewar"). This was actually a patch (hyperspace85.bin) to "Spacewar! 2B".
This was actually the first hyperspace in history (in the very first digital video game) – and what a nice one!
