In a parallel universe where the space race never ended, space travel was gaining popularity amongst corporations and rich individuals.

In 1988, a brand new deep sleep cell was released, compatible with all popular 16 bit computers. Unfortunately, it used big endian, whereas the DCPU-16 specifications called for little endian. This led to a severe bug in the included drivers, causing a requested sleep of 0x0000 0000 0000 0001 years to last for 0x0001 0000 0000 0000 years.

It's now the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD, and the first lost people are starting to wake up to a universe on the brink of extinction, with all remote galaxies forever lost to red shift, star formation long since ended, and massive black holes dominating the galaxy.
So you are on a ship with a 16 bit computer, traveling around a dead universe. whatcha going to do?

I need to learn how to program in assembly language. my Pascal and BASIC are a bit rusty

Some released videos from Notch show some testing. looks like he wants thrust to affect internal gravity. also would find it amusing to inster the wrong floppy.

"Okay, time to use my docking maneuver floppy.....load... wrrrr.... OH CRAP IT IS MY intercept, disable and board floppy!"
