Maybe not the viewer -- but the LL game was, so were any graphical displays
at mission controll.

And the new LL game I have in my head. I'm pictureing a cabinet somewhat
like Battlezone, only instead of a viewfinder, you have two triangular
shaped windows that look into the cab -- 'out' of the capsule. Actual Apollo
- style noun-verb keypad, possibly even LED read-out on the side, two-player
mode, and, of course, vector display inside the cab simulating the lunar
surface.

Hmmmm -- have to let this cook. Design a cheap ISA AVG board, write it for
286 or even 386 artitecture -- plenty of those board lying around. Only
catch is the monitor.
