When Game Went Click: The Tennis For Two Story

Join us October 22 at 7pm in the 8th Floor Lecture Hall for the premiere screening of When Games Went Click: The Story of Tennis for Two. This exhibition length documentary (approx. 18 minutes) details the history of the 1958 analog computer game, Tennis for Two, its historical Cold War context, its place in game history, and includes exclusive interviews and footage of the current Tennis for Two reconstruction project underway at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion and Q/A session with video game historian and preservationist Raiford Guins, and Brookhaven physicist Peter Takacs, who is re-creating Tennis for Two.

This premiere is supported in join effort by the NYU Game Center Open Library and the William A. Higinbotham Game Studies Collection at Stony Brook University. Event organized by Laine Nooney and the NYU Game Center.
