a superb graphics screen. DEC gave one to MIT, and some very bright students went wild. Gems such as Spacewar!, Snowflake, 4-voice music programs were all developed by moonlighting MIT students, unencumbered by its measly 12kW memory and pokey 100,000 instructions per second. Along with much more serious debugging and programming languages of course. You can come and see the real machine for yourself at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California: http://www.computerhistory.org/ Also, Norbert Landsteiner made this incredible simulation of the PDP-1 that can run the original Spacewar! and Minkytron code in your browser: https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/ https://www.masswerk.at/minskytron/ He also made a gate exact replica with Verilog code on github: https://youtu.be/iymD9eysqXo Our sponsor for PCBs: https://www.pcbway.com Support the team on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/curiousmarc Merch on Teespring: https://teespring.com/stores/curiousmarcs-store Learn more on companion site: https://www.curiousmarc.com Contact info: https://www.youtube.com/curiousmarc/about
