“In the Beginning...Was the Command Line.”

“Back in the days of the command line interface, users were all Morlocks who had to convert their thoughts into alphanumeric symbols and type them in, a grindingly tedious process that stripped away all ambiguity, laid bare all hidden assumptions, and cruelly punished laziness and imprecision.” - Neal Stephenson

Cathode is a terminal emulator, yes. And in that capacity, it works just fine. But it’s much, much more than that. Cathode is also a TIME MACHINE emulator. It provides a conduit back to the beginning of an era. An era when computers were a new, cultural enigma. If you were introduced to computers in the 80’s, Cathode will put a smile on your face for sure!

You can also, with some tweaking, recreate the feel and character of the computers and terminals which were integral to the sci-fi movie classics of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Remember when Mother woke up the crew of the Nostromo? How about Joshua (AKA the W.O.P.R) from WarGames? Weird Science, Cloak & Dagger, The Andromeda Strain, TRON…. the list goes on.

So ask yourself this: “Would you like to play a game?”
