My 1981 adventure game is now a multimedia extravaganza
Summary
An author revisits a 1981 TRS-80 BASIC adventure and reimagines it as Arctic Adventure 2026 using Claude Code to generate graphics and code. The piece explores AI-assisted development, the evolution from text-only to graphical experiences, and the tensions around AI-generated art, authorship, and the balance between nostalgia and modern tooling.
