Running Colossal Cave Adventure on a PDP-11/34 [video] (nycresistor.com)

The video of that rescued, repaired and running PDP-11/34 just created the coziest feeling inside my mind. There is something magical about those old Digital PDP machines that were so deeply related to the development of UNIX and C. It just makes you want to simulate every little bit of it and somehow make it last forever. It's too precious to be lost in time.


That Flickr video widget didn't work the last time, when they salvaged the thing, and it doesn't work now. I do have Flash, but it just displays a black box. Does anyone know a workaround?


that's nothing, I saw that running on a ICL2966 at the National Computer Museum the other week.
