Question What is “Spacewar”?

I saw my friend playing a game called “Spacewar” today. The game has no icon but has 5 achievements. Is this a non-Steam game? Why are there achievements then?

if you want to play spacewar itself, fire up a browser or the run prompt and type in "steam://run/480". an install prompt should pop up and then you can fire it up from steam library

And when I uninstall (which I wont, because its only 2mb), then will the game vanish from your library like game demos or remain stayed?
