Raspberry Pi 3 supports Win 10 IoT. (Internet of Things)

Not sure if it will run any of the Computer Space simulators out there -- a quick search turned up several different versions.  :dunno

That is a bit overkill.  What is wrong with a pizero and doxbox?  You can run a nlited 98 build or just use raspian and download spacewar.

There is a pi version where you can build a PDP'esque switch interface if you really want to be old school.  Easy to search for it.  Now my mind is thinking of a circular CRT with dials and buttons steampunk style.  :dizzy:

It's not a matter of overkill.  To my knowledge the only Computer Space simulator runs on xp.  Space War isn't Computer Space.  CS is based on SW, but they aren't the same.  The primary difference is that green vector display, the gravity well and the face that the pdp-1's display was round.  I just want to print it out and assemble it.... I really don't need another software project.  :)

My still uncompleted 1/4 scale Space Invaders, complete with scale controls and 5" CRT monitor. I never quite got around to finishing it, and someone else did almost the same thing a couple of years ago (forgot the link). I announced this initially as a full size cab to mess with peoples heads so the first few years (!) of the thread are in that context. Then I thought I'd spill the beans to give myself a hurry-up. Didn't work :duckhunt

Where did you find a 5" crt?  The only ones I know of are from old portables and they aren't exactly rgb ready.
