About this episode

The hosts explore the Simpleplex 6000AE Squared, a 1930s computer, and attempt to emulate it while sharing its fascinating history.

This week we struggled MIGHTILY to attempt to emulate the Simpleplex 6000AE Squared, and we weren't sure if we could pull it off, but...WE GOT IT GOING! Join THE BRENT and Amigo Aaron for a trip back to 1938, on the tiny island nation of Tuvalu, as we take a wild adventure in computing that we NEVER knew existed. It's a story of one man's determination to match wits with the most brilliant minds on earth. THEN, kick back as we GAME ON THIS SUCKER! Special thanks to Tommy G and the SP8KAE2 Forums!
