First multiuser interactive game? Has to be Space War done on the PDP-1 circa 1965. Players circled a sun, shooting at each other, or laying mines. Well antedates Pong!

Megawars was a text-based game on CIS circa 1984?? perhaps. If you leave a message in the MPGAMES Forum, you should get rapid answer!
