Computer Space 2-Player Arcade Video Game (Nutting, 1973) Rare original two-player edition of the Computer Space arcade video game manufactured by Nutting Associates and released in July 1973, two years after the original one-player edition released by Syzygy Engineering, the company that evolved into Atari, made history by becoming the first arcade video game ever created and the first commercially available video game. The game is enclosed in its original futuristic green sparkle (metallic flake) fiberglass cabinet, the only color option issued for this version, and approximately measures 29.5″ x 66.5″ x 32″, with the back bearing the Nutting Association parts label, which reads: “Model No. 724C, Serial No. 30543.” The front control panel features a 25-cent quarter slot, a coin return button, a red ‘Start Game’ button, a green “Two Player Operation” button, and two original rotational joysticks topped with red “Fire Missile” buttons. The game’s simple gameplay instructions, printed beneath the monitor, read as follows: 1. Insert quarter; press two-player if desired; press start button. (Two-player option must be selected before start button is pressed.) 2. In one-player operation, player one is pitted against the computer-controlled saucer. 3. In two-player operation, player one and player two are pitted against each other. 4. In one-player operation, outscore computer-controlled saucer for extended play. Included with the arcade is a hand-drawn schematic entitled “Two-Player Computer Space, Chassis Wiring,” drawn by Walter Anderson on May 17, 1973; a “Pre-Installation Inspection” check sheet, and a “Two-Player Computer Space Trouble-Shooting Guide” from April 1973, which includes a 3-page section for “Some Typical Failure Symptoms.” The cabinet is in fine condition, with only some slight scuffing and scratching, mostly concentrated on the lower right side; one joystick is slightly loose, and the machine itself lights up and the screen is functional, but the game is not in proper playing status. Original working 2-player Computer Space arcades are practically unobtainable and very rarely offered for public sale, with this example all the more impressive for its immaculate cabinet and original parts. A coin-operated derivative of the 1962 computer game Spacewar!, the original one-player Computer Space made its official public debut at the Music Operators of America (MOA) Expo, which was held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois on October 15-17, 1971. Syzygy founders Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney were thrilled with the early response, as was their manufacturer, Bill Nutting of Mountain View, California, whose company Nutting Associates greenlit initial production sometime in November or December, and then full production near the end of January 1972. The ultimate sales tally was modest, but the game’s success led to a two-player sequel (offered here) and the game’s telltale cabinet even made cameos in the 1973 film Soylent Green (marking the first appearance of a video game in a movie) and Steven Spielberg's 1975 summer blockbuster Jaws. After parting ways with Nutting after the release of the original Computer Space, Bushnell and Dabney sought to incorporate Syzygy Engineering but learned that the name already existed in California. Inspired by the Japanese game Go, they changed the company name to Atari and ignited the video game revolution with PONG (1972), Home PONG (1975), and the Atari 2600 console (1977). Although Computer Space didn’t bring video games to the masses, it established the blueprint for nearly all coin-operated arcade video games to follow: a cabinet, marquee, control panel, television monitor, audio speaker, circuit boards, power supply, and coin acceptor. It also inspired early professional game developers like Jerry Lawson, the engineer who led the creation of the first cartridge-based video game console in 1976, and Atari game designer Ed Logg, who based his best-selling 1979 space shooter Asteroids on elements borrowed from Computer Space and Space Invaders.

Attributed to VIVIANO CODAZZI (Italy, 1604/06 - 1670). "Capriccio". Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents an old restoration and some losses. The frame presents faults in the gilding. Measurements: 100 x 126 cm; 110 x 136 cm (frame). Painting of Italian school and Baroque period attributed to Viviano Codazzi. The pictorial quality and the theme of the ruins sublimated by means of architectural fantasies leads the experts to deduce the authorship of this great Italian painter. Under a sky covered with wind-laden clouds, a ruinous architecture that condenses attributes of different Greco-Roman temples, of which only the memory and the annotation of some traveler remained, is cut out imposingly. The tall Corinthian columns are eaten away by age and the scars of war. The statues have lost their heads or limbs, and moss grows in every crevice. The lives of the human groups scattered between the lagoon and the porticoes are relaxed. Their clothing is typical of the period to which the painter belongs. The quality of the backlighting and the right chromatic ranges that enhance the architectural beauty and its mystery stand out. Italian Baroque painter born in Valdassina, near Bergamo, Viviano Codazzi specialized in the painting of architecture, covering various genres such as the "quadratura" (decorative genre derived from trompe l'oeil), the painting of ruins or the "capricci", although he also painted several "vedute". He is in fact recognized today as one of the first painters of "vedute", both in its fantastic and realistic aspects, and in fact his work will exert a notable influence on Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto. He developed a personal language that, in contrast to the heroic character of the landscape derived from the Carracci, imaginatively interprets buildings and ruins, but always respecting verisimilitude, playing with lighting to obtain typically baroque expressive effects, which enhance the appearance of the ancient-looking buildings, populated by small popular characters. Codazzi grew up in Rome, where his family moved to in 1605, and as an adult he settled in Naples around 1633. There he trained as a disciple of Cosimo Fanzago, and his style matured, focusing on architectural painting. In Naples he worked on commissions such as those for the Certosa di San Martino, obtained through Cosimo Fanzago, also born in Bergamo. His major project in Naples was a series of four large canvases depicting scenes from Ancient Rome for the Buen Retiro Palace in Madrid, including one depicting gladiatorial combat in the Colosseum. Since he was a painter who specialized in architectural painting, the figures in this series were made by Domenico Gargiulo. In fact, this type of collaboration would be a constant in his career. Gargiulo was his main collaborator in Naples, but after returning to Rome following the Masaniello revolt in 1647, Codazzi will work with the Bamboccianti, mostly Dutch painters, and especially with Michelangelo Cerquozzi and Jan Miel. He also collaborated with Filippo Lauri, Adrien van der Cabel and Vicente Giner, already in the 1660s. The Bamboccianti, painters gathered around the figure of Pieter van Laer "Bamboccio", will exert a notable influence on Codazzi's mature style. He had several disciples and faithful followers, among them Ascanio Luciano and Andrea di Michele, in Naples, and also his son Niccolò Codazzi, Vicente Giner (who settled in Spain) and Domenico Roberti. Within his production it is worth mentioning for its originality his representation of the "Basilica of St. Peter" (1636), an unusual work within the genre of the "veduta". Painted in Naples, this painting shows the old entrance to the Vatican palace, destroyed when the Sala Regia and Bernini's colonnade were built, as well as two bell towers based on an engraving of the architect Martino Ferabosco's project, which was never built. One of his best known works is the representation of the Masaniello revolt in the Piazza del Mercato in Naples, with figures by Cerquozzi, which he made for Cardinal Bernardino Spada in 1648 (now in the Galleria Spada in Rome). Apart from these singular works, most of his paintings are medium format paintings, starring architectures in landscape settings. Works by Viviano Codazzi are currently held in the Museo del Prado, the Louvre, the Bowes Museum in County Durham (U.K.), the Indiana University Art Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walters Art Museum, among other public and private collections.
