OXO was a computer game developed by Alexander S. Douglas in 1952 for the EDSAC computer, which simulates a game of Noughts and crosses, also sometimes called Tic-tac-toe. OXO is the earliest known game to display visuals on a video monitor. To play OXO, the player would enter input using a rotary telephone controller, and output was displayed on the computer's 35×16 dot matrix cathode ray tube. Each game was played against an artificially intelligent opponent.
Released 31 December 1952 for EDSAC and PC (Microsoft Windows) by Alexander Shafto "Sandy" Douglas and University of Warwick. About 1 hours to beat.
