Hmm, might be fun to look at; I've got both languages on the 20.
I've also got an amazing Trek game called STAR that I need to finish
scanning in.? That's written in Algol 60, though.

Good morning!
Just to update ? that is not me, I was behind the camera, but good
investigation to find the video.
That was at DEC Legacy 2010, I was looking for a page I had written
about the games, but I haven?t come up trumps yet.
The source code for Lightcycle is a combination of FORTRAN and VAX Pascal.
Regards, Mark.

Maybe this is what Mark looked like 10 years ago playing it ...

I couldn't hit it, either and I was curious as to what Lifecycle was.

Thanks Mark.
ORAC does seem to be not reachable currently, I will try later.

I have this Supratim
You can pull it from ORAC::MULC.ZIP or the package of two
games is ORAC::VAXGAMES.SAV
The code was fixed in a previous DEC Legacy to run on
recent-ish VMS ? it was a fun task.

Does anyone have the FORTRAN source for Lightcycle (the
game) that can be sent to me somehow - VAX mail to
MARIAH::SYSTEM will work fine ...
I had collected it from someone kind enough to send it to
me circa 2015, lost it, shame on me.
Thanks in advance,
Supratim
