VIDEO GAMES THAT MADE HISTORY PART 3 - SPACE RACE

While not as successful as Pong, Space Race helped Atari expand its catalog of arcade games and demonstrated that video games could explore different genres beyond sports. It also contributed to the growing popularity of competitive, multiplayer gameplay and further cemented Atari's role in shaping the early arcade scene.

Space Race was the company's second arcade game, following the success of Pong. In Space Race, two players competed to guide their spaceships from the bottom to the top of the screen, avoiding obstacles like asteroids. The gameplay was simple but fast-paced, with a black-and-white display.
