Do you find that Modula-2+Python combo works better interms of
type-safety etc. (which are Modula-2's virtues) than e.g. using
Object Pascal (FPC)?

Thanks, although I'm not interested for that field.

Those games are, I assume, text-only?

I'm curios to know what is the percentage of Modula-2 code in the gm2's
front-end?
