Hi PDP-11 game players ?
I found that the famous QIX game was ported to the PDP-11 !!
See http://imgur.com/a/gtPfh
Back in the days, I spend quite a few Guilders on this addictive game.
Does anybody have a lead to the software? That would be awesome!
Thanks,
Henk

I don't know which PDP-11 that is either. It's a 3rd party card.
Anyone recognize it?

Likely a J11 power Q or Unibus CPU of late vintage.

ROI was actually the company which made the 11/93 cpu. And, they made a

Nope, but I remember a VAX version that also used VT100 graphics.
Possibly the same one? I doubt it's much of a memory hog so maybe
it runs on (or was easily ported to) the PDP-11 too. Not that I
know where to find the VAX version either...

Here's a link to the VAX version:
www.decuslib.com/decus/vax_games/mqix/
So it's written in three languages ... and it's multi-user. Could be a
useful starting point though?
