Intergalactic spacewar olympics

 



The first recognized international game competition in history was the "Intergalactic Spacewar Olympics" held on October 19, 1972, at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University. This tournament featured the game "Spacewar!" and marked the beginning of esports. Another notable early competition was the "North American Video Game Olympics" held in January 1983, organized by Twin Galaxies, where Ben Gold became the first video game world champion. Additionally, the Space Invaders Championship held by Atari in 1980 attracted over 10,000 participants across the United States, establishing competitive gaming as a mainstream hobby. These events paved the way for the growth and popularity of esports today.
