Probably the first physics simulator outside a lab. And it's durned easy to 
write, too! The 
original computer games (except Mazewarz, which was written for the 
graphics-intensive 
XEROX PARC Smalltalk machines) were all trivial BASIC games that only took a 
few lines of 
code. All your modern games are based on these early ones, just with more bells 
and 
whistles.
