wizardry code in an interpreter and basically put the modern graphics on top. This is a quite interesting approach and quite an achievement, too

This is massive. It looks like Sir-Tech contributed. Are they back in business?
But if Greenberg OR* SirTech/Woodward are involved with the project inCan they even do another one? The legal rights to the series seem to
any way, DE is being very tight-lipped about it. I haven't seen any
mention of Greenberg, Woodward, or SirTech being involved except as historical footnotes or as legal necessities (e.g., licensing). Were any
of the old crew involved, it seems likely that Digital Enterprises would
be playing it up.
