NIMROD utilized a lights panel as a display screen as well as was intended and also made with the distinct function of playing the video game of NIM, that makes it the initial electronic computer system gadget to be particularly developed for playing a video game (nevertheless the essence was highlighting as well as revealing just how an electronic computer system jobs, as opposed to have as well as captivate enjoyable with it).
