I knew the video game thing, and yes, the name is what turned people off. Not that “Pong” was much better.

I did not know about that early video game, but I should have suspected. As a fledgling IT student in 1965 my class visited the Submarine Warfare computer center at the Naval War College in Newport, and they had a two-player sim pitting subs against each other and firing torpedoes. Fun game, even if it was actually very serious business – I think it was used to study various torpedo formats, among other things.

Oh, and what about the safety lock & key? Invented in Mesopotamia, if I’m not mistaken…
