    It brings out such a weird organic reaction to see those pixellated movements come alive, after all those years. Such a leap forward in gaming... thanks a million for sharing, Mr. Mechner!

    That's fantastic. I've always wondered what that video looked like. PoP is still a fantastic game! The animation in the original PoP back on the Apple II is *still* better than most games these days!

    I was looking at it before I hit play thinking... this can't be real. Then I recognized all the moves! What a classic game.
