>I have been asked to write two pieces for the 4th ed. of the Encyclopedia of Computer Science. The first is an update of what I wrote for the 3rd ed., namely "Computer Games, Arcade," and I have already finished that one.
Well I hope you included the Tic-Tac-Toe game that was in the Franklin Institute in 1956-57 since I certainly played it. Am told it was developed pre-1950. Considering all of the buttons to push and things to climb on at the FI, it could certainly be considered an "arcade".
Warmly,
Padgett
