Browser Emulation of 1975 Computer Runs First 16-Bit Home Game

Posted by timothy on from the circles-within-circles dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following up on the 2009 story about the first graphics game written for a 16-Bit Home PC, I thought Slashdot readers might be interested in seeing the game in question running in their browsers. The original hardware has been emulated and loaded with the original machine code transcribed from PDF scans. Some brief background here."

    Sorry, I just can't seem to give a shit enough to be outraged by a java based emulator running in a web browser. It must be nice to have a life where that is the biggest outrage you face today.

    One that the author of the game, Richard Adams, built himself. There's a link to some background, including pictures, in the first link in TFS, but since this is Slashdot and people don't like to RTFS, here the link.
