I thought the first game was AD on early CDCs and later on IBM S/36s?

Does anyone here know anything about a port of space war for the HP2115?
Many years ago I purchased a 2115 from the MIT equipment exchange. Paper
lables on the front panel suggest that the machine at one time played space
war.
I've kept the core unlatered, but the idea of reverse engineering whatever
code
may (or may not) be stored in core seems impractical. The machine had all its
I/O boards removed before I got to it.
I'm tempted to simply ignore the original contents of the core at this point,
and
load something interesting for VCF East, but before I alter it, I'd like to
ask if
anyone has heard of space war running on old HP mini's?
