[Simh] Historical gaming devices

[Pontus Pihlgren]

Hi

It has been discussed before, but the PDP-12 had one or two ports of 
Spacewar as well. While there is no support for the PDP-12 in simh, I 
think similar A/D equipment was available for the PDP-8 to attach 
controllers.

Perhaps something to look into?

Regards,
Pontus.
