Implementation of a management game

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of a management training game on two different computers. A brief description of the game is included, giving an idea of what the game looks like to the players and the controller. The two implementations are, firstly, on an Atlas I computer, with a multi‐access system provided by an XDS Sigma 2 computer, and secondly on an ICL 1906A runing under the control of the GEORGE 4 operating system. Mention is made of some of the difficulties encountered in each case, and of the techniques employed to solve these problems.
