Ricercar achieved Deadly rank on a Commodore SX-64 circa 1986, playing the Firebird version with the orange LensLok. Thankfully the first week a friend hacked the code and gave me a disk that gave a miss to the LensLok check. That was as annoying as any unexpected witchspace Thargoid encounter. Ricercar achieved Deadly rank again on an Amiga 500, circa 1989.


Muscle memory required an Oolite plist for C-64 keys. Save the following test as ..\oolite\add-ons\config\keyconfig.plist

Holy Moly! Oolite is cooler than peanut butter! I played 22 hours straight, until I bought myself a Python. Thanks to all involved.
