I do not know that it was technically a "port", but a version of spacewar
runs on the Imlac PDS-1 vector graphics computer. I know of two which are
still in running condition. Mine is a PDS-1D as seen here:

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!
