Great find, I remember there was a System/360 Model 20 at my dad's job,
when I was in elementary school. Now and then he'd bring me a stack
of faulty punch cards, so I could "play computer".

I think at one point I even owned a punch card, coding my name.

Cheers,

His loaded dice haven't helped him... with 1 hit point, it'll be a short game.
