[HECnet] Lightcycle FORTRAN Source

[mark at wickensonline.co.uk]

Good morning!

 

Just to update – that is not me, I was behind the camera, but good investigation to find the video.

That was at DEC Legacy 2010, I was looking for a page I had written about the games, but I haven’t come up trumps yet.

 

The source code for Lightcycle is a combination of FORTRAN and VAX Pascal.

 

Regards, Mark.

Maybe this is what Mark looked like 10 years ago playing it ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwH8mmzA5_c

I couldn't hit it, either and I was curious as to what Lifecycle was.

Thanks Mark.

ORAC does seem to be not reachable currently, I will try later.

Is area 4 connected to hecnet at the moment? From here it doesn’t look like it.

I have this Supratim 

 

You can pull it from ORAC::MULC.ZIP or the package of two games is ORAC::VAXGAMES.SAV

The code was fixed in a previous DEC Legacy to run on recent-ish VMS – it was a fun task.

Does anyone have the FORTRAN source for Lightcycle (the game) that can be sent to me somehow - VAX mail to MARIAH::SYSTEM will work fine ...

I had collected it from someone kind enough to send it to me circa 2015, lost it, shame on me.

Thanks in advance,
Supratim
