I'm working on planning my exhibit for this year. To keep things not identical to last year I was thinking of showing Xenix on my Lisa. However I'm worried the exhibit won't be interesting enough to the general public (Oh look, it runs. Oh look, it's Unix. Oh look, there's a clunky menu interface you can bring up.)
Of course games are always interesting... however as far as I know none were made. The system does have a Pascal compiler, so perhaps that's an option to get something new into the system?
Failing that, perhaps showing off Michael Brutman's MTCP suite would be better?
I'm open to suggestions.
It's sad, but what I've noticed over the years at VCF is that the general public is more interested in games than anything else. Even when I brought the HP minicomputer setup, they wanted to know what kind of games ran on it. Can you connect a couple of terminals to it? Dig up the source for Rogue or Hack and let 'em play.
