Stumbled into this bit of news, thought it was worth sharing here. Also, that article states there were Windows and Mac ports, which we don't have here?

Amen, this is exciting news!

I imagine the ports are for the revived product, not the historical article. Something so ... reverse-engineered across the decades might warrant a new entry 8)

Edit: Sorry, now I see what you meant: "Habitat's launch on the Commodore 64 - later being ported to the FM Towns and PCs running Windows and Mac OS - was a stunning success."

Guess someone needs to ask the author of that article for their source 8)

I assume that's about the derivative WorldsAway which is covered in the same Wikipedia article.

Have gotten the splash screen up, but never yet able to successfully connect. Anyone else with more success?
