A wiki style offering, with such gems as

The first game to track high scores Seawolf
First use of digitized sound without a sound card Meanstreets
First use of Analog Swing Trigger Nintendo 64
First Arcade Video Game Computer Space

Another amazing post! AND a refernce to Midwinter's sniper rifle. AND a great site I've never heard of. Thank you Mr. Elderly, and also thanks for so graciously linking to my humble lair...
