<As I recall, some of original Star War's movie graphics were done on a
<PDP11.
I don't think so. They used masks and other film tricks. someone else can
comment.
Though the -11 had graphics. It was more that any graphics were not
supported by the OS and the hardware to do that was likely as big as the
machine itself and not anywhere near real time. Graphics need lots of
ram and lots of disk neither of which where common then nor cheap.
