Patience was not our forte when we were young. And by the time I appreciated more complex games, I'd already got a PC, and none of my friends still had a C64, which is probably why I didn't discover Exile (1988) until very late in life.

Which is my way of saying, Exile would be a challenging project to take on for the Oric! The source code for the BBC Micro is available! http://www.level7.org.uk/miscellany/exile-disassembly.txt

Well, I’m sure if there’s some Oric programmers with a personal love story for that game, that could happen, but people making games on the Oric are like a fraction of the number of people you can find on Sinclair, Atari or Commodore machines.

Personally I did not know that Exile game, seems quite advanced, with such a scrolling on the Oric it would either had to be done in TEXT mode, or use some page flipping (screen by screen), else that would be way too slow.
