I remember using a PDP-10 at Caltech in the 1970's. I think it was the first time-sharing system they had. At the time I wasn't into computer chess and wasn't aware of McHack, but SpaceWar and Star Trek games were very popular on that system. There is actually a source repository for SpaceWar (https://github.com/historicalsource/Spacewar). These had ASCII text graphics (real graphics terminals were very scarce and expensive at the time). Most of the terminals were actually TTYs.

It would be interesting to try locate this version of Spacewar.
