Our table featured the PiDP-10 running ITS and Remote Systems access along with a PDP-8/m and an LSI ADM3a mostly running CHEKMO-II chess and occasionally Colossal Cave Adventure. 15 formal chess games were played through to the end with only 6 humans beating the computer. There was a good cross over for vintage computing and we met more PDP-10 users at WorldCon than at any other event. Special thanks to Charles Anthony for running the table.
