I played this on an IBM 370/158 mainframe. I got in trouble for printing out its FORTRAN source code - I was accused of wasting university resources. But I had printed it out because I was working on an assignment to implement a game, and I wanted to look at a game implementation as an example. Admittedly the game I was implementing was the card game Patience, but still.

Do you still have that print out? It would be awesome to try it. (I have the original multi wars, written in basic(Dartmouth college), it was a print only game, but multi user for anyone on campus who could join in. One of these days!
I don’t. That was nearly 50 years ago in another country. Moving countries tends to be hard on one’s collection of stuff.

Searching, I see there seem to be plenty of versions of it out there. I also found someone selling a printout: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203263286436
