Just what do you want ? The Z1 was _complete_ echanical and
was build by hand on a kitchen table - and used anything
also known from modern computers, including binary floating
point.

Stop, my question was not about greating a game on a PDP.
The intention was to build a computer game where building
a PDP (or something like that) is the goal ... Such a basic
build up an economy game like Civilisation etc. But instead
of geting welthier all the time you have to build up a PDP as
soon as possible
