Here is a link to my FIAR page...
Enjoy!
And, yes, when I get my hands on the source for Lunar Lander, I'll give it the same treatment!
I started on a page for 3DTTT... I got it lying around somewhere...

James Larson <jlarso...@gmail.com> Aug 29 08:42AM -0400
Games?!? As in, more than one?
Please post more info on these games! I already know about FIAR and 3DTTT.
Are there others?

BATNM Battle of Numbers. Only saw it distributed as an object deck.
Involved removing "sticks" from a pile. Person removing the last "stick"
lost.
A lunar lander simulator. Started at descent. Needed to not land too hard
and also not run out of fuel.

Somewhere around here I have a couple of the old BASIC games books popular
in the late '70s. I recoded the Dave Ahl version of Lunar Lander to 1130
Fortran
It's only about 6k but I don't want to attach it to this email since not
everyone will want it. Send me an email and I'll return a copy
If you want Robert Louden's 3D TTT, just ask. I'll send that as well.

I'm interested. Been wondering how the lander worked. I vaguely recall it
kicked out a lot of paper, or could anyway, on line printer.
Seems like the person (I am sorry I can't remember your name) who
translated FIAR to web could do the same with lunar lander. It would be
better than original.

Yes, more than one. Richard Stofer kindly provided the 3DTTT game, which I have greatly enjoyed but rarely won.
I wrote a blackjack game (where the computer is the dealer) back when I was in high school. If anyone's interested I'll send the source files (Fortran and assembly).

A modern-day IBM1130?

And then there's my work in progress, an 1130 emulator based on a Parallax Propeller microcontroller...
http://forums.parallax.com/blog.php/58796-Retrocomputing...and-whatever-else-comes-to-mind
http://www.parallax.com/product/p8x32a-d40
The CPU emulation is about 3X faster than the original 1130. I use an SD card for the card deck (emulating a 2501) and for the printer (1403). The disk is emulated on a 2MB flash chip, and there are 8K words of core memory.
A modified electronic typewriter (via RS-232) acts as the console keyboard/printer. I apparently damaged one of the connectors a while back and have yet to figure out how to fix it. It's on my (ever growing) project list.
In the meantime, I wrote a quick-and-dirty console emulator program so that I can still play the games.

In 2007, Richard Stofer demonstrated his IBM1130 emulator as seen in the links at http://ibm1130.org/party.
Today, I ran across this blog post detailing how Mr. Carl Claunch is recreating the 1130 with a mixture of modern and old hardware.
Fascinating! Here's the link... http://ibm1130.blogspot.com/

Was the game written in Fortran? EMU or 1130? Assembler?
Bob
"Walter T. Mosscrop" <wmos...@cox.net> Aug 28 10:03PM -0500
It was written in Fortran with a smidgen of Assembler. The Assembler code was used to bypass the Fortran character set restrictions... you couldn't directly print "!", "?:, or ":", even though they were available on the element.
The routine simply set up an XIO instruction with the appropriate console printer (rotate/shift) code. The resulting "operation complete" interrupt from the printing was simply ignored by the interrupt handler.

How I wish folks fron NYC's Stuyvesant High School
were on this list. They had a cartridge
full of games such as Yahtzee, tic-tac-toe
and fun utilities such as
- duplicate a full deck of cards, even binary.
It alternated stackers when making multiple copies
and had a trailing card with
"END" punched across the card, in italics!
- enter text at the console keyboard,
it punched a card with the text in block letters.
The console switches selected
number of spaces between letters,
left/center/right justified,
underline and/or line on top too.
MIT did independent work such as full replacements
of the monitor, linker & compilers.

Stuyvesant's 1130 was the first computer I ever used, but I've got no idea
what became of the 1130 and that games cartridge after I in 1976.

In 1965 I began my career working for Gordon H. Spencer at Scientific Calculations, in Fairport, NY, along with Pat Hennessy, Herb Weiner and Charlie DePauw. We primarily wrote SW for designing optical systems, and wrote Program for Optical System Design (POSD) for IBM for the 1130 and System 360. Gordon wrote the FIAR program and it was great to see it resurface.
