Bertie the Brain, Powered by Additrons!
An early computer game, one of the first games developed in the history of video games. Built in Toronto by Josef Kates for the 1950 Canadian National Exhibition. The 4 m tall computer allowed attendees to play a game of tic-tac-toe against the computer. The machine had an adjustable difficulty level. The Additron was a unique tube made for the University of Toronto Electronic Computer (UTEC). A normal tube-based computer would require several tubes to perform addition, the additron used beam switching to perform the operations of a full adder in a single package. The Rogers 6047 tube and its variations could have revolutionized tube computing, allowing those computers to shrink by a factor of 10, but before it could really get off the ground in real designs, transistors, and later, integrated circuits would take over.
