"Clone" is a game written by Nick Jackiw and published by CodeWorks - Cursor, a company known for developing software for the Commodore PET. The game was released during the late 1970s or early 1980s, a period when the Commodore PET was a popular personal computer for both educational and home use. CodeWorks - Cursor specialized in creating games and utilities for this platform, often focusing on simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics.
The exact gameplay details of "Clone" are not widely documented, but it is likely a text-based or simple graphical game, typical of the era and the capabilities of the Commodore PET. Given the limitations of the hardware, games from this period often relied on creativity and imagination rather than advanced graphics or sound. Nick Jackiw, the developer, was part of a small but active community of programmers creating software for early home computers.
Unfortunately, specific information about "Clone," such as its storyline, objectives, or unique features, is scarce, and no surviving copies or detailed descriptions of the game have been widely preserved. This lack of documentation is common for many early computer games, as they were often distributed in small quantities or through informal channels. As a result, "Clone" remains a relatively obscure title in the history of early computer gaming.
