There also seems to be a version for the PDP-12,

tried running it.
I used to run it regularly on my PDP-12. It worked better there than on
my current PDP-8/E, VT8E, VT01 combo. Must've been differences in
how the graphics was implemented (the PDP-12 ran graphics in Link
mode). Otherwise the code is the same.
BTW: My PDP-12 was donated to and is archived at the Computer History
Museum...

Hoping some of the people here can help, I'm
trying to compile a
listing of hardware that versions of the Spacewar code were ported
to after the PDP-1 during the 1960s. There was the PDP-6 version
which was done at Stanford SAIL, and there were the PDP-7 and 8
versions which appeared in the DECUS catalog in the early 70s
(which means they could have technically been done in the very late
60s), and the early 70s PDP-10 version (which was just a port of
the PDP-6 version).
Is anyone aware of any non DEC hardware it was ported to in the
60s? I haven't been able to find any concrete evidence that it was
on anything other than DEC hardware in the 60s.
Thanks!
