Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Missile simulator game is the earliest known interactive electronic game. It was created by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann on a cathode ray tube in 1947. The game was a missile simulator inspired by radar displays from World War II. It used analog circuitry, not digital, to control the CRT beam and position a dot on the screen. Screen overlays were used for targets since graphics could not be drawn at the time.
