I've played this briefly (on a pdp-1). Edinburgh University had moved their CS dept to an out of town campus (Kings Buildings). The university's open day (open house in US English) events however happened in town. As a school kid I'd go attend those events. This would be around 1980. I'm not sure the full story but I got the impression that the pdp-1 had been left in the Appleton Tower building when everyone left for KB years earlier. Perhaps it wasn't up to being moved. Anyway, it, running spacewar, was pretty much the only computer you could see on one of these open day events. Of course a pdp-1 was a deep relic of history even then. The only other one I've seen is in the CHM in Mt View.
