==2014== In January 2014 I headed out on vacation and brought a notepad with me that I use to scribble ideas down for the game. I realized the problem I had in struggling to create the game was simple, it had no story. Without a storyline, the game was nothing more than some useless space sim with some weird gameplay options tacked on. For several years I've been collecting vintage computers. I like the strange consumer models but really have a passion for the old mainframe computers, mostly the panels they use. Google image searches on "KL-10 panel" or "PDP-8 panel" will demonstrate some of the cool things they did with the look/design of computers in the 1970's. So I started to move the game to use the look and feel of the PDP-8 style computer. Then while on vacation it all sort of came together when I had the strangest idea. What if, in 1967, the hippies took over Earth? Then, for whatever reason, they started to build spaceships using PDP-8 computers as the main command terminal? And so Oberon was reborn...
