OH!
I did this on my own, as a way to learn PYTHON. I had a file with an old BASIC listing I typed in from Creative Computing when I first got my IBM PC (around 1984?). The game was DEEP SPACE, which I remember playing on a mini-computer at my cousin’s school in the mid 70s. Back then it was teletypes for I/O!
Anyway, I got DEEP SPACE working fine in Python. Maybe I’ll submit it.
(FYI, last I heard David Ahl was a bit of a religious right winger, into collecting military vehicles.)
