Elon's First Game (BLASTAR)

In 1983, when he was 12 years old, Elon Musk began coding and created a video game called “Blastar.” The game required players to control spaceships, armed with five lives, as they navigated through a dangerous space filled with alien freighters, hydrogen bombs, and menacing status beam machines. In 1984, Musk’s coding skills became evident to the world. The source code for “Blastar” was published in the industry trade magazine, PC and Office Technology.
