The Nimrod was a special purpose computer that played the game of Nim, designed and built by Ferranti and displayed at the Exhibition of Science during the 1951 Festival of Britain. Later, when the Festival ended, the computer was shown in Berlin. It was the first digital computer exclusively designed to play a game, though its true intention was to illustrate the principles of the (then novel) digital computer for the public.

  • Nimrod Nimrod (также NIMROD) — компьютер для игры в ним. Создан компанией Ferranti и впервые представлен публике 5 мая 1951 года на выставке «Фестиваль Британии». Таким образом, его можно считать первым компьютером, созданным специально для игры. Однако в первую очередь Nimrod был разработан для демонстрации принципов автоматических цифровых компьютеров, и на выставке любой желающий мог приобрести информационный буклет, рассказывающий о компьютерах, истории техники, игре ним и о том, как Nimrod играет в ним.
