Does anyone have the source for the old BBC or CBM-64 version of this game,
as I am interested in the 3D routines, and also the algorithms for
planet naming, information etc. Better still, if anyone knows anything
about the elusive Atari 8-bit version, let the world know.

I assume that the source is under copyright (Acornsoft or Firebird) but
you learn more by looking at the source than simply playing the game,
and I'm sure many demo writers, up and coming programmers, (hackers)
call them what you like have resorted to scouring through impressive
routines in their time (and probably used them too).

Any agreements/disagreements to the above are welcome, but don't let it
deter you from posting the source!
