So NASA engineers had been composing game music for Nintendo 15 years ahead of time

Very interesting - I wonder if the computer simulations inspired the designers on 2001 (with special note to the Pan Am docking sequence with the space station)

I would like to know the software Colossus for Apollo project , did it been programmed in Octal . In the sixties did they used the registers word or Dword (Hexadecimal) ?

@SuperBunkerbuster Perhaps not, although you'd be surprised at the sorts of programs people have designed for the TI-84. I have a program installed that can graph functions in 3 dimensions, but I do agree that many of the 3D simulations in this video would not be rendered anywhere near as quickly on a TI-84.

@therealandycook Yes, I want to play Thermonuclear War.
Is it true that today's cell phones have more computing power then the computer onboard the Apollo Command Module?

@MrBennetzen Your cheesy pocket calculator has more computing power - but then again you're not trying to watch youtube or download apps on apollo computers.
