You have a PDP-10 running or emulated? The geek points awarded differnece is orders of magnatude based on that answer...

The actual DOS executable is about 300K Bytes (I downloaded it and played it for a few steps, until I found myself at the end of a road with a forest behind me... I stink at games like that :^)

Then, of course, I spent some time spinning through the KLH10 emulator pages, acting like I was going to dedicate a Linux PC to being a faster PDP-10 than a real PDP-10...
