@dirtycommo definitely doable if you have the right tools on the old machine itself. Assembler or basic interpreter, sprite editor, music tracker. Or create your own tools, as was common in those days.

I have released LLama2.c64 - an LLM running on a C64 with 2MB REU. It runs the Llama2 LLM architecture, using the tokenizer and weights from the Tinystories 260K model.

It's a storytelling model that tries its best to spin your prompt into a story, as if told by a kindergarten child. It will generate one output token about every 8 minutes.

So I somehow managed to cram the ground rendering routine into Combat Chopper.
Textures are very much work in progress.

I combined the "Whiplash Taxi" and "Combat Chopper" ground drawing code, and the result seems okay.
It has a few artifacts, and would benefit from some optimisation and better textures.

Thought it about time I finished a game instead of having several *coming soon* games. So here we go ...

@pavilion Gorgeous, I love it.

@jdyer I love text adventures, but one thing I don't miss about old text adventures is fighting with the text parser to find the right phrase.

@arstechnica it would be a terrible waste if these stop working. There is too much electronics dumped all over the planet already. There's nothing wrong with the hardware.

@hawthornbunny Nice game. Congratulations.
