Are one of you genii going to port this to Oric?

Hmmmm... 16K for the code + 7 other banks of 16K is 128K.
Porting could take a while.

That can be done using a floppy drive for banks. Nintendo did this using the Famicom Disk System.

But the major problem will be the graphics parts (I don't even speak about the audio part)

The Oric can only use software framebuffer where all graphics are done in hardware on the NES. This could be feasible, but I'm not sure that the source code is something usefull when we have all of this changes to do. Create a new one should be easier, and more copyright friendly

Due to hardware differences the code would definitely be very different on the Oric, but things like AI might be usable if they are well enough commented.

You're right
