This is no cut and paste or object oriented programming using pre-assembled modules. That's what makes it hard-core. Not the images.
Amazing. It also reminds me so much of my trip to Waterloo with the Computer Club in High School in the early 80's. |

One of my favorite things is seeing the old mainframe workstations with built-in ashtrays.

The only working PDP-1s that are known to exist are kept in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, where demonstrations of the machine are held, which include playing Spacewar.[25] |

I shudder to imagine how many punched cards these images would take.
