VT52 emulator (was: Fw: Still Falling for Tetris, 25 Years After Its Birth )

2009/6/3 Richard <legalize at xmission.com>: This TETRIS.SAV and many other soviet RT-11 games used hardcoded VT-52 sequences for cursor movement and positioning, i.e. "short" ESC "A" instead of ESC "[" "A" e.t.c. I've tried alot of VT-52/telnet emulators, it's awful. The one of the best is a M$ HyperTerm (sic!) in VT-52 mode. Electronica-60 was equipped with 15-IE-00-013 videoterminal (not sure about origins, maybe Tectronix clone ?). It had rather similar VT-52 sequences (K52.SAV worked w/o any problems). Also it had Cyrillic charset swithable via SI/SO ASCII control codes. The 0177 character was a 6x8 block. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektronika_60 and ru. interwiki Videoterminal: http://www.leningrad.su/museum/show_calc.php?n=283 I've put my collection of the soviet RT-11 games here: http://www.nwpi.ru/~alec/SIMH/ To run this games you need working SIMH and RT-11. ./pdp11 PDP-11 simulator V3.8-0 sim> attach rl0 rtv53_rl.dsk sim> attach rl1 games.dsk sim> set throttle 200k sim> set console pchar=37777777777 sim> set console telnet=23 sim> boot rl0 .
