I hope somebody out there liked this game as much as I did. Oddly, I
preferred it over LORD, Trade Wars, BRE, LRE, Usurper, and all the
other big name games.

Partly as a hobby project, partly to keep my skills fresh, and partly
to learn a new framework, I've started work on an online version of
TEOS. Keeping with the "cloned" theme, and perhaps a more accurate
title anyway, my project is titled "The Exploitation of Space". So I
have a question for everybody...

If you were to play a modern day version of TEOS online, would you
prefer:

- A game that looked true to the original, ANSI-style in your browser
- A game that was based around the original, but modernized somewhat
in appearance (like www.lotgd.net)
- A game that had the same ideas as the original, with an all new
interface that felt more like a modern game

And also,

- A game that is as close of a clone as can be made (perhaps with some
IGMs), or
- A game that is based on the original, but with lots of fresh ideas,
modifications, updates, etc (again, like www.lotgd.net).

I have a direction already, but I thought I'd check public opinion.
Majority may rule, especially if there is a lot of interest!

If there is interest, I might post a list of my ideas for updating the
game.

I remember playing this game briefly toward the end of my initial
BBSing days, and really liking it. But I don't remember the gameplay
well enough all these years later. I need to get into it again and
refresh my memory.
