So. there was a C64 version, how about someone getting their hands dirty & creating a 128 version ? On the VDC ? How about we all chip in and create a bounty ?

Examining algorithms to learn the frequency of events and such might be useful in replicating the game but porting the C? That's a tall order. I think it would be easier (I use the word loosely) to create a 128 version from the 64 one and no, I'm not volunteering. I've got my hands full with my current projects.
