No, it is not an identical remake. Yes, it uses the same scales. And in the same order. But there is only so many ways in which you can do that differently and still make sense or be practical. But a keen eye can see that each one is drawn on itself. The esthetical appearance of the TADS disk is significantly different. Also, unless I found the wrong file in your (Makman94) mediafire repository, yours are relatively low res (671 pixels square; Manos Bearing Computer v1.0). Sub Buddy has significantly higher resolution. Besides, it is unique in the sense that it is a smartphone app targeted at KM Uboat operation. The android apps available (can't speak for iOS/Apple store) don't even come close.

[edit: I suppose one could say 'unique' is a stretch. But it can't be considered a rip-off either.]
