oh hey that's fun. this game has two layers of copy protection! if I hack the "check weird sector" code to always return 0 (for found-it), it tells me "Diskette/version out of phase"

I need to make a note to stop trying to stuff GUI applications in docker containers.

it can be done, sure, but it's never worth the trouble
