I did not have internet access at the time, but it was possible to order contents of this newsgroup on floppy disks from the national HP48 user group, I think they were located at Chalmers university in Sweden. This was my first encounter with the internet, around 91-92-93, browsing Usenet posts from snail-mailed floppy disks.
There was lots of useful software written for it but I was totally blown away by the accuracy of the Phoenix port. Obviously, the graphics couldn't be replicated but even that was well done given the hardware limitations. The game mechanics were pretty close to the original.

Flashback to lurking around comp.sys.hp48 looking for downloads.
