Very interesting

Thanks for showing this. For me it is really interesting to see such old systems and their software.
“A main frame with terminals that interact with the main frame...” - A scheme that still hasn’t gone away despite the “terminals” now being powerful PCs. Cloud computing seems to be the new take on this. I.e. services accessed from a web browser whilst the software and data are stored on servers.

Yes, like Mark I am curious how you played these games?
