The only reasone I see for porting Lasertank is so that some other
OS's can run this game. I would love to see it ported to Linux & the
Palm Pilot. Also A mac port would be great.
The only good Win32 port would be one where direct X is used for the
graphics, and the graphics are greatly improved.
That said.. If you want to port the game just to see if you can do
it, go ahead.
