Experience the TimeSharing System 8 on a PiDP-8/i. Can you complete the challenges and make the leaderboard?

Although the BASIC-8 is a limited dialect, I can speak it, even after all these years. No doubt the Processor can interpret it!

The work of David Ahl is good enough to support the PDP-8 with a small cheery BASIC dialect who could work on the 4KWord of the PDP-8. Love for the awesome PiDP-8!

Next time I would try his port of HAMURABI if I can source it. Its the BASIC version of the FOCAL game playing as a Sumerian king.
