That reminds me of the "Space Travel" game/sim that Ken Thompson wrote for the first copy/iteration of Unix. Did anyone ever actually run/see that? There are some screenshots online but I'm curious how the original Unix on that old PDP was hitting a framebuffer. I'm really curious to know how Ken & Dennis approched it, and how far off from today's crazy graphics interfaces was it. -Swift
