My mother'll see your Science of Cambridge MK 14 and raise you a PDP
11/45 with 48K memory (RAM and ROM hadn't even been INVENTED then...),
although at least it did have a monitor.  The OS was Unix (v1.0,
original, installed by the original author while he was still working
on it, we still have the manual), and the game was the original
version of Hunt the Wumpus, written by two of her friends in 1972/'73.
Does she win?
