Mother nature doesn't exist. It's a man-made concept that can think anything you want it to.

A 286 doesn't need EMS though. You can use XMS or a 16-bit DOS extender and run in protected mode to access all memory.

Even an 8088 could use more than 640kB through paging with EMS add-on cards. A 286 doesn't even require paging to use up to 16MB.

OS/2 required much more resources than Windows 2, which is what we're talking about here.

No, even without those 386 features, Windows 3.0 did introduce a new memory system that allowed Windows applications to more easily use up to 16MB of RAM IIRC.

The early Macs didn't have floating point support either, not even as a co-processor until the Mac II in the late 80s I think.

It also means this port requires orders of magnitude more resources than the original game.

I feel like space opera is more about the plot. You can have hard sci-fi space opera (the Expanse) or soft sci-fi opera (Starwars, Startrek).
