Ah nostalgia. I used to love playing this on the Speccy. And all in 48k as you say. And it will have been written in pure assembly code as well.

If you want to recapture the fun of the game there is a freeware version called oolite out there which runs on a modern computer.

Thanks to all for the comments! I made a tumble video of it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFxaqUB6iOY And the base mesh was available free at Foundation 3d. When it's 100% finished, I;ll be releasing the textured version there free as well.

Marvelous, and definitely brings back memories. Painful, rage-filled memories of trying to dock and gradually scraping away my life. Until that one beautiful day when I finally managed to get enough cash to purchase a docking computer. Ah, that was the greatest moment of my childhood. Anyway, I love the picture.
