According to overseas media reports, American physics scientist Peter Takacs is about to announce to the outside world the human first video game "Two-way tennis" (Tennis for nonblank) and its equipment, which he presided over. "Bi-directional tennis" was born in 1958 and was originally developed by Willy Higinbotham, an engineer at the Brooklyn Sea Lab in New York, to attract visitors ' attention. "Bi-directional tennis" through an oscilloscope and a Donner30 vacuum tube simulation computer operation, the player can control a tennis ball on the level of the ground back and forth movement. After a brief public demonstration, Willy Higinbotham dismantled the first video game device in human history, leaving behind a photo of the equipment of the year. Human first video game "Two-way tennis" 1997, to commemorate the 40 anniversary of the upcoming "Two-way tennis", the Brookings laboratory staff recovered the game, but the device was a solid computer because they could not find the DONNER30 vacuum tube analogue computer in the market. Many people feel a bit sorry for not being able to reproduce the full picture of the original. However, recovery efforts have not ceased. Peter Takacs, a physicist at the Brookings Laboratory Instrument Division, has been looking everywhere for electronic parts related to the DONNER30 vacuum tube analogue computer, and eventually painstakingly reconstituted one. In this way he presided over the restoration work can truthfully reproduce the 1958 edition of "Two-way tennis" the original appearance.
