Vince Weaver is what we called a dark-matter-programmer™ some time ago. He doesn't glow brightly, he’s not loud, you barely notice him if at all, but he develops massive gravity when you get near him.

Vince is an Associate Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Maine and seems to have an amazing amount of time on his hands. 

A few days ago we stumbled across one of his latest creations - Portal for Apple II. The whole thing is more of a proof of concept, and Vince only actually implemented the first two levels, but if you're triggered by that, and look a little further, you'll find some more, unfortunately seemingly unknown gems from him. 💎

For example, you can find an Apple II version of Another World / Out of this World and a number of other demakes such as Kerbal Space Program for the 1970s Apple II! 😳

Great projects Vince!

It's hard to waste your time in a more fun way. 😆 (Maybe I should have pursued a career in academia after all).
