a DCC-16, which was a Nova clone. And although
I've never seen one in
action, I've no doubt SpaceWar was very popular on the PDP-11/05-based GT05.
I have a friend who wrote a spacewar for the *GT40* which we also
played on a GT42. I still have the code and the original control
boxes we built for it (wired directly to a parallel I/O board,
A DR11, if I remember correctly).
