The BBC has an article about
the 8-bit emulator phenomenon. It's saddening
to see that companies are siccing their lawyers onto those who copy old
games for long-obsolete computers. Though there is some hope, with the likes
of Amstrad giving carte blanche to emulate their old machines.
(Didn't the Amstrad and Spectrum's ROMs contain Microsoft BASIC?
Wouldn't Darth Bill's army of lawyers have something to say about this?)
