Blackjack game recovered from Whirlwind tapes (Patreon)

What do you do with 1952 Whirlwind supercomputer? We recovered a Blackjack game from a Whirlwind tape. Al Kossow read the analog data on the tape, Len Shustek recovered the digital data, Guy Fedorkow ran it on a Whirlwind emulator, and Ken Shirriff made a Java app so you can play it yourself online. And I made a wooden hub for the Whirlwind tape reels. Hey it's the spirit that counts ;-). See the blog post by Guy here:

And try the game yourself with Ken's Wirhlwind app:
