Nope... Spacewar. Look it up. There was an earlier game which was hacked together by the Model Railroad Club at MIT which involved the lights on the front panel of the IBM series 2 ( I think that was the model ) but SPACEWAR was the first one on the DEC. Copied by ATARI
The dude with the tennis game invented a SIMULATION not an interactive experience. What I have read was that no players were necessary as the computer modeled the whole thing so it wasnt a game.
Now the first computer game??? Turing started working on that in the 1940's (Chess) no video though.
