I happen to have a silicone graphics irix indego workstation still in working order as far as I know if anyone wants it. I've had it for some time but never had a chance to play as I intended. I have the O/S disk and other bits let me know if you are interested.
I'm keen

It strikes me, it would be cool to show this off at a WLUG meeting once whoever ends up with it gets it working, if it’s not too hefty to bring in. :)
How old is this baby? 20 years? I remember being in the TechMuseum in San Jose in either 1993 or 1994, where they had a couple of SGI machines doing real-time interactive 3D graphics. The lighting was crude and everything was polygons, but it was still amazing being able to fly smoothly through this scene. As I recall there was a hill with either trees or bushes on it, and a simple open building of some kind. State-of-the-art for, I dunno, a five-figure price tag back then.
And an interesting bug where, after you did an Immelmann turn, the left/right controls got reversed. :)
