Still requires you to get a media (tape?) image of the game itself; not
sure if that's possible in any strictly legal fashion unless you owned
the original... or backed the new incarnation on Kickstarter. Yup, you
heard me: Backers have official access to the Good Old Times ;)
(I'm pretty sure the CPC version didn't flicker that much though, so
personally I'd prefer that one. Provided it doesn't crash as often as it
did back then... ;))
