my memory of this was trying to play it on my Dad's BBC Micro computer as a kid. Everything was white lines on a black background. Every key on the keyboard had a function. I was very good at crashing the thing into the ground.

Not managed to get into Dangerous because my attention is way too short these days. But I fired it up the other night, sat there listening to my podcasts whilst watching ships flying around the spaceport. In vr it was quite nice.
Eventually bothered to try and learn some stuff, combat trained, figured out all the menus and space navigation. Almost gave up after my first mission to hyper-jump to another system was scuppered because a bloody big moon was in the way of my jump.
All in all, think I'm going to revisit as my interest was tickled.
