18096214<p>This is an original linen-backed folding map game published in London in 1809 by William Darton.</p><p>Overall 25 1/2 x 21 inches. It is an early example of the "Cartographic Game" genre that became very popular in later Victorian England. The map folds and fits into the original slipcase with printed label. The rules are printed in columns at the sides. The object of the game is to move tokens originally in the shape of pyramids their landing place determined by use of a teetotum called a <em>totum </em>at that time and read about the region upon which one landed. It was both competitive and educational.</p><p>Early map games such as this have become very scarce. Most did not survive since they were children’s toys. This one is in remarkably good condition. There is a light stain in the lower left of the map part and general light age-toning but the colors are bright and crisp. The linen backing is sound and the folds are intact. The original slipcase has two printed paper labels.</p> Darton, William unknown books

14976Inventor of the landmark computer game Pong. Type Script Signed by Higinbotham 3 page -1990 "Invention and Technology Magazine" article by Frederic D. Schwartz about Higinbotham's role in the origin of computer games. <br/><br/>Schwartz's article begins "Remember Pong In 1972 it became the first succesful video-arcade game.In reality though it was invented in 1958 in a laboratory in then-rural Upton New York by a man named William Higinbotham." According to this article Higinbotham was integral to the birth of successful modern video games as the article explains that "Higinbotham was in charge of instrumentation design at Brookhaven National Research Laboratory BNL a government supported nuclear-research facility.To assure people that they were in no danger and that their crops would not mutate the laboratory ran tours to show how useful important and safe its research was." Higinbotham's contribution based on his desire " to liven things up" was computer based "tennis game with the court displayed on an oscilloscope's screen. For a man who had helped develop the first radar systems and designed timing devices for the Manhattan Project's atomic bomb it was a simple matter to plan the necessary circuitry and within a couple of days the game was finished." So Pong was born. As the article explains however Higinbotham was in a difficult position regarding the game's ownership. As a government employee he could not register a patent in his own name as "Uncle Sam would have owned it." <br/><br/>Higinbotham who had "witnessed the first test detonation at Los Alamos" and was "determined to reduce the awesome threat that nuclear weapons posed to the world" had attempted to create a game of non-violence. He lobbies and speaks against violent games and nuclear weapons and as the article concludes "It's nice to be the patriarch of Pong. But if current trends continue and his scientific efforts end up leading to a peaceful world Willy Higinbotham will have accomplished something much greater." The typescript is signed on page 3 by Higinbotham in his hand: "Best Wishes William A. Higinbotham Feb.8 1991." An interesting association piece which reveals how work on global issues such as nuclear energy intersected with the invention of peaceful computer technologies designed for diversion and entertainment.
