Thank you!
I actually did a lot more. [...]
You're giving me lots of interesting ideas :-). A while back I asked
if anyone had done any hacks for the VT100 since it has lots of
signals on its internal expansion chassis, but noone seems to have
done anything with those.
Ya know, the Tektronix 4105s and 4205s have ROM... You could probably
make a much more interesting video terminal game with those!

Reminds me of something I did with a TeleVideo 955
once. Turns out
that model has a custom-firmware ROM socket, with an escape sequence
in the stock firmware to execute it. I disassembled enough of the
various pieces to work out much of the interface to the hardware,
and wrote a small video game to run in the custom firmware ROM as a
proof-of-concept exercise. [...]
What an awesome hardware hack for a terminal!
