Noo! My mispent youth learning it’s finnicky mouse controls till I could zip about like a bluebottle on Adderall must be vindicated!
The sequel, 'V2000’s updated control scheme just wasn’t the same.

Note that the code on this site is not David Braben’s original source code, as that hasn’t been released. Instead, it is a fully buildable source that’s been lovingly reconstructed from a disassembly of the original game binaries, and which produces 100% identical game files. All of the variable and routine names are my own invention, but the code itself matches the original source.

This is kinda mind bending, but after thinking a while, sounds very tedious.

I played this with Amiga 500 when it was brand new. It was fun, but super difficult. It was also the first game that let me experience bad lag.
