复古计算圈大多聚焦 1980 年代，但更早的机器同样值得回看。[Michael Gardi] 把《Lunar Lander（登月着陆）》移植到 PDP-1 上，提醒了我们这一点。
PDP 系列与《登月着陆》本身就是标志性存在，且二者颇有渊源：很多人以为这游戏始于 1979 年雅达利街机，其实最早的纯文字版《Lunar Landing Game》早了十年，诞生于 DEC 的 PDP-8 上；不少老玩家都曾在某台机器上敲入过其 BASIC 版本。
这并非那款老游戏。尽管 1959 年的 PDP-1 硬件比 PDP-8 更受限，[Michael Gardi] 仍让带图形的《登月着陆》跑在了 PDP-1 上——看过 SpaceWar 就知道，DEC 首台小型机完全扛得住图形。你可以在线试玩模拟版，或自行下载。现存仅有一台可正常运行的 PDP-1，他希望能有朝一日在“开启黑客文化的那台机器”上真正运行它。
这或许是本次复古计算赛事中最“复古”的项目，虽无专项奖，但如果你能做得更古早，那就放手去试——赛事还剩三周，回去穿越并赢取荣誉与奖品吧。

The retro computing scene mostly focuses on the 1980s, but earlier machines are just as worth revisiting. [Michael Gardi] ported Lunar Lander to the PDP-1, a timely reminder of exactly that.
The PDP series and Lunar Lander are both icons with real connection: many people assume the game began with the 1979 Atari arcade machine, but the earliest text-only Lunar Landing Game predates it by a decade, born on DEC's PDP-8; plenty of veteran players have typed in its BASIC version on some machine or other.
This is not that older game. Even though the 1959 PDP-1 hardware is more limited than the PDP-8, [Michael Gardi] still got the graphical Lunar Lander running on the PDP-1 — anyone who has seen SpaceWar knows DEC's first minicomputer could handle graphics. You can try the emulator online or download it yourself. Only one working PDP-1 survives, and he hopes one day to get it running under a 'hackable' —
This may well be the most 'retro' project in this retro computing contest. There is no dedicated prize, but if you can make it even older, go for it — the contest has three weeks left, travel back in time and go win honours and prizes.
