Platforms
The only known platform for Unix v5 was the PDP-11, with support for both the PDP-11/40 and PDP-11/45.
How do I get this to run?!
Well you'll need a disk image, and an emulator or a PDP-11... I'd recommend SIMH and you can get v5 by looking for v5root.gz .. There is also the guide Running Unix v5 in SIMH.
Games
While limited, there is a few games on the v5 distro:
bj chess cubic moo ttt wump
