HISTORY
Before the transistor was invented, computers used vacuum tubes as switches. These vacuum tubes however were rather fragile and would regularly fail. In this game you are tasked with maintaining one of these computers, the ENIAC, the very first electronic general-purpose computer. You will need to replace the failed tubes to keep the computer running. The longer you keep it running, the higher your score will be. If all boards fail, you loose the game. Computers were very high maintenance back in the day, something the six women responsible for programming the ENIAC could attest to.
