I used one back in the early 70s that was pretty decent with a nice 
display.  But you needed a CDC 6000-series system to run it; it was a 
real cycle hog, IIRC.

Wonder if anyone bothered to preserve the game?  

It was by-and-large written in CDC FORTRAN.  It originally had its 
own PP display driver (CHD); later versions used the programmable 
"T"(on SCOPE 3.3, anyway) DSD screen.

Cheers,
