or Infocom's Starcross -- text-based game w/ story similar to ACC's
"Rendezvous with Rama"
I remember the spaghetti board "printers" where you used jumper wires to
"program" columns on a punch card to columns on paper. The computer
produced punch card output with the "raw" data, then you fed the punch cards
into the "interpreter". Think it was called an IBM 407. Woe unto you if
you dropped the cards. So ya learned to sequence-punch the cards, so they
could be run through a sorting machine if necessary. Gee, that really
tweaks the way back machine...

There was a star trek computer word game on the computer in high school
where I went (text-based). That computer required punched paper-tape :-)
The first game I got hooked on was Zork - brings back memories :-)
