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.

Is area 4 connected to hecnet at the moment? From here it doesn?t look like it.

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
