- Its 18-line Dragon Derby listing recreates the feel of typing a program from a 1980s computer magazine.
Field notes
A BASIC interpreter written in JavaScript handles most, but not all, Dragon BASIC behavior; users can type programs or select ready-made commands. The page also offers four newly written cartridge games, six cassette programs, and a reconstructed 1983-style newspaper listing, whose 18-line horse-race program can be typed in or copied into the machine. The author explicitly says the original Dragon ROM and 1982 games are not included; a separate chip-level experiment is still being built.
