To add a little more detail to Tom Uban's reply, the
version of Spacewar you get from the website url he
listed is the *actual* *original* binary executable
of the Spacewar program. It runs on an emulated PDP-1
that's written in Java and which gets downloaded to
your PC or Mac when you go to the web page.

So, the Spacewar *program* is as close to the original
as possible, since it *is* the original.

The real question to ask, is how close to a real PDP-1
does the emulator come?
