    Playing Star Trek in my high-school counselor’s office on a teletype machine that was connected to the local college’s main frame. The teletype used a roll of paper. Type in a move, and a new “screen” was printed on the paper. I must have used miles of paper playing that game.

      Holy shit. I never knew teletype ever became a civilian technology. I only know of it from my military training. Though it was old technology by the time we trained on it.
