In the last video Rob showed the initial hardware build of a crazy whack-a-mole floppy disk style game. In this video, we'll wire everything up, write the code for the THREE Arduinos contained inside, and finally create the AMOS powered Amiga game that will actually run this madness!

08.06.2025 - Video: Quasimodo's Halloween Horror (C64) Preview 3b - Ghost Busting..
A very brief update - but with a small dilema, should this game turn into a Run and Gun? It may just work. There's quite a bit of reworking of the main Quasimodo sprite, but instead of having throwing object animation frames (as originally intended), he can now shoot, which is a lot easier to animate.

07.06.2025 - I tried to save this rare floppy drive (Commodore 1551) - video by 'Adrian's Digital Basement'
The Commodore 1551 might look like a humble disk drive but it's actually a somewhat rare peripheral sporting a full 8-bit computer using obscure Commodore chips. This one is broken so let's try to fix it.

07.06.2025 - Video: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for C64/C128 - Demo 2 free for download
In this video you can find some updates on the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo game that RetroGL (Gianluca Alberico) is creating for C64/C128 platforms using his RetroFighter engine. This adaptation of SSF2T for CBM platforms is based on the GameBoy Advance version called SSF2T Revival, but obviously my version will have something different. The game is planned to be executed on a 1Mbyte EasyFlash or Kung Fu Flash cartridge. You can download and and test the game for free with the link in the video description.
