  5. Today marks four years since Prism Warriors began development, and to celebrate, here is the official trailer! I hope you're looking forward to being able to play it as much as I'm looking forward to being able to release it 😀

    Wishlist it on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/292

  7. Commissioned portrait of Billy Mitchell for a retro-gaming event.

    Loved the King of Kong documentary when it was released. Then there was the drama surrounding Billy's Donkey Kong high-score records. 🍿🙂

  11. 🎮 Oh joy, another riveting dive into the 'mysteries' of #NES #composite video! Turns out, "wobbly" is code for "I have too much time on my hands." For those who didn't get enough in 1985, here's a manifesto on why your 8-bit #graphics aren't as crisp as your #HD dreams. 📺✨

  13. An experimental #Amiga OCS Core for the #Mega65 was released last evening! Wanted to try it out and totally forgot about the Formula 1 sprint qualy.

    Had to reconfigure the #mouSTer to be an Amiga mouse instead of #Commodore #C135

    It works great! Took the x86 path in the 90's so never really used an Amiga and #Workbench so this will be something new to explore!

  17. 🎮 Si no tienes un C64, Spectrum o MSX original, no pasa nada ¡los emuladores están para revivirlos en cualquier ordenador moderno! 🕹️💾 #RetroGaming #Emulación #8bit

  18. A native #IRC Client for the #Mega65 and it works pretty good.

    No need to use a #C64 Terminal emulator like Novaterm and a Swiftlink modem connection for this when there's a native TCP stack.
