Actually, the original game was designed for the Atari 800. If you'll notice
the name of the planet is "IRATA" (that's Atari spelled backward). It's amazing
that somw of the best games are the ones written for the old 8 bit machines.
Seems like now people are too caught up in graphics and sound to worry about
just making a decent game. Some of the best games ever written are still only
available on the Apple ][, C64, and Atari 800.
