sufficiently advanced technology : the gathering
This will be, I swear, the second-to-last Elite nostalgia
piece that NTK runs. The New Kind, the reverse-engineered C
reimplementation of the original 6502 BBC Micro game has hit
v1.0. It runs under Windows and Linux (using the giftware
Allegro graphics library), and fair brings a tear to your
eye - and that's just paging through the source. But even
if the stark beauty of assembly-based-C code doesn't appeal,
the homages to every iteration of the game - including rock
hermits, witchspace ambushes and the fabled Cougar will win
anyone who still gives a toss over, I'm sure.
