I had long wished to actually understand more about how this game managed to achieve the 3D graphics which were quite revolutionary for its time. I had already been doing some research into the old Atari arcade game Battlezone. But it also got me back into being interested in writing another emulator. I also relearned a small amount of the subtleties of that hardware which I had forgotten. While goofing around a few weeks ago, I tried to recompile it, but had some difficulties which I eventually ironed out. A couple of years ago I wrote an emulator for the 8080 microprocessor so I could make an emulator for the original Space Invaders games. In the past I’ve written an emulator for the DEC PDP-1 so I could run SpaceWar!, one of the very first video games. I’ve been interested in writing emulators for old computers for quite some time.
