This a great read, don't miss it! It served as a major source of information for my attempt to retro-emulate Computer Space on the PDP-1 [1] and for a comprehensive description of the game for yet another project [2].
Everyone interested in early arcade video games should have a closer look at "The Textbook of Video Game Logic; Volume 1" by Arkush, William (Kush N' Stuff Amusement Electronics, Inc., Campbell, CA, 1976), a PDF copy [3] of which is linked in the article!
