Steve "Slug" Russell is a programmer and computer scientist most famous for creating Spacewar!, one of the earliest videogames, in 1961 with the fellow members of the Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT working on a DEC Digital PDP-1. While there is some debate over priority regarding the concept of computer-based games in general, Spacewar! was unquestionably the first to gain widespread recognition, and is generally recognized as the first of the "shoot-'em' up" genre.

  • Steve "Slug" Russell is a programmer and computer scientist most famous for creating Spacewar!, one of the earliest videogames, in 1961 with the fellow members of the Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT working on a DEC Digital PDP-1. While there is some debate over priority regarding the concept of computer-based games in general, Spacewar! was unquestionably the first to gain widespread recognition, and is generally recognized as the first of the "shoot-'em' up" genre. Steve Russell wrote the first two implementations of Lisp for the IBM 704. It was Russell who realized that the concept of universal functions could be applied to the language; by implementing the Lisp universal evaluator in a lower-level language, it became possible to create the Lisp interpreter (previous development work on the language had focused on compiling the language). He invented the continuation to solve a double recursion problem for one of the users of his Lisp implementation. Steve Russell was educated at Dartmouth College from 1954 to 1958.
  • Steve "Slug" Russell es un programador y científico, conocido por haber creado uno de los primeros videojuegos llamado Spacewar! en 1961, junto a algunos de sus compañeros del Tech Model Railroad Club en el MIT. Spacewar fue incuestionablemente el primer videojuego en obtener amplio reconocimiento, y es generalmente reconocido como el primero del género "shoot-'em' up". También escribió las primeras dos implementaciones del lenguaje de programación Lisp para la IBM 704. En un tiempo Steve trabajó para una compañía fundada por Nolan Bushnell que tiempo después se convertiría en Atari.
  • Steve Russell (ou Stephen Russel) dit Slug est un des programmeurs à l'origine de Spacewar (en 1961), l'un des tout premiers jeux vidéo de l'histoire.
  • Entrò di diritto nella storia dei videogiochi per essere stato, presso il MIT, tra il 1960 e il 1962, l'inventore di Space War, primo vero videogioco. Bisogna altresì ricordare che fu preceduto da Tennis for Two del fisico Willy Higinbotham, la quale però nasceva nel 1958 più come applicazione didattica che non ludica.
  • Steve Russell was de bedenker en maker van Spacewar. Hij was destijds een student aan de technische universiteit Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. Toen er behoefte was aan demonstratie programma voor de nieuwe PDP-1 computer, leek het Russell leuk om er een spel voor te programmeren. Omdat sciencefiction in die tijd erg populair was geworden besloot hij een ruimteoorlog spel te schrijven. Het werd een groot succes en binnen een jaar werd het gespeeld op universiteiten door heel de Verenigde Staten.
