- debo_ 4y agoIt's retro because it's been 'round the block.
- Grumbledour 4y agoI am pretty sure it's inspired by the pdp-1. There is a picture showing Spacewar. For reference, the original: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar!
- naikrovek 4y agook but how many people have ever played SpaceWar on a PDP-1? Maybe it is "retro" but it isn't nostalgic. steering columns on cars from the era would pierce your chest in a very mild 20mph head-on collision, and that's "retro" I guess and again not very nostalgic. I guess I don't understand the appeal of a perfectly circular display. carry on, this is my problem I guess.
