OT - sort of

The combination of poor quality text and my 71 year old eyes did me in again. :-) My daughter says if you turn it "just so" the Ms. Pac-Man copyright date does look like 1960, but it is actually 1980. Yep, that makes a lot more sense. In 1960 I suppose about the only thing to play a computer game on would have been either a mini or a mainframe - actually I think it would have had to be a mainframe. Based on a *very* quick web search, the first PDP-8 shipped in 1964, so if that was the first mini... Some might say the IBM 1620, introduced in 1959, was a mini but I think that is a stretch. Just for completeness, here are all the copyright dates as best my daughter can read them: Ms. Pac-Man 1980 Galaga 1981 Pole Position 1982 Mappy 1983 Xavious 1982 Later, Charlie C.
