(The experience was great and the instruction set is a joy to use. The single time, I felt somewhat hindered, was due to the limit of just up to 3 characters for any names to be used for assembler variables, notably not the PDP-1's fault. BTW, the games runs at 60 frames a second.)
- sbuttgereit 8y agoI was at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View yesterday and got to play Spacewar!, the game that inspired Computer Space (amongst other things), on their restored PDP-1. Stephen Russell and Peter Samson were on hand to chat about it. Sounds like something they do at the museum regularly, worth a visit
