Notes

1978 version that's in this repo was carefully OCR'd and updated by @clintmoyer, tweaked by @scivision for ANSI BASIC compliance, retweaked by LiquidFox1776 to be mostly compliant with ECMA-55 standard. It has been play tested several times and appears to work as intended. The shooting routing requires a special function called CLK.
