Two skins over one game. 1979 is the machine as it was; the remaster is
the same rules in cel-shaded vector art with a modern palette. The
simulation is untouched - only the paint differs - and the toggle sits
under the set.
The street is now driven by the game. Before prices are in, the number
of people walking on comes from the forecast; afterwards it comes from
the glasses that actually sold, so the report shows the crowd you
earned. A heat wave has them fanning themselves; a downpour leaves one
figure hurrying past under an umbrella.
Selling no longer snaps straight to the books. The stand trades for a
few seconds first, tally climbing and till filling, which is where that
crowd animation pays off. Skippable.
The synth grew a kit (pitched-sine kick, snare with body, hats), a
sweeping resonant lowpass for the bass, chords and a shuffle - enough
for a funk band. The chiptunes stay for the 1979 skin.
Boot is now a cassette load, which doubles as the gesture browsers
require before audio will play.
Fixes found on the way: the picture scaled about its centre while flex
auto-margins collapsed to zero on overflow, which pushed the report's
buttons off the bottom; and the validation line moved the button when
it appeared, so it is now reserved and faded. Sibling tabs in one
browser also keep their score tables in step.
