Great story.
It’s the sort of thing that I would hope could become community maintained once the authors have made some money off it.
That is an amazing story about, what looks and sounds like, an amazing game that you can loose your life to.

It’s a remarkable story. I wonder what it is that makes the game so hard to port to other systems. It’s probably not structured the way a program in a modern language would be. Is that why so many devs struggled with it?
I guess that ultimately the core of the logic, how the parts interact was never fully grokked by any other developer until this new kid came along. And his great insight was to not touch it! 😄
