Before PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company and any of his other companies, Elon Musk was busy developing a game called Blastar. It was actually featured in South African magazine ‘Office Technology’, and now, the game is available for the world to play online. How so? His mother Maye Musk provided to code to Ashlee Vance, who later published it in the Musk biography.
Tomas Lloret then used that code and recreated it into a web version of the game. Put simply, Blastar has play mechanics similar to Alien Invaders in which the player shoots down enemies trying to attack you with hydrogen bombs and status beams. Try it out here.
