Can I run Eve on that? Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Eve should be awesome in 640x480 too. The real chokepoint though is that 56k modem. Fleet fights are gonna be a ***.

Think I've got one of those in the garage - But pretty sure the monitor adapter might be a bit hard to work with. Move up to the C64; much superior connection hardware.

I actually stumbled across a programming guide for the Commodores and that was such a trip down memory lane I became Dr. Who for an hour.

Well, of course. Everyone knows CPU works better when chilled, but over-clocking is better. Now, if you loaded EVE on your microwave, and put the microwave in the refrigerator, you'd really be smokin'!

Got home and tinkered for an hour.

Now playing Eve on circa 1989 Nintendo Gameboy.

Problem is...with black and tan dot matrix screen, its really hard to determine who is blue.

Oh well..thats for the diplo to sort out!

Who needs F1 when you have up, down, left, right, B and A...not to mention select AND start!
