SuperCPU "Sky Travel" Easter Egg Hunt for Commodore 64
We take another look at the Commodore 64 astronomy program Sky Travel, this time with the assistance of the 20 MHz CMD SuperCPU Accelerator. We examine the reasons for the 2 hour discrepancy between Sky Travel's depiction of the eclipse, and reality. It involves time zones and Daylight Saving Time. Other tangential topics include: JiffyDOS disk speed-up, 1541 disk drive "head knocking" copy protection. Then finally we go on a "round the world" easter egg hunt for many interesting "tokens" hidden in the Sky Travel program.
