What a fantastic game - a mix between #Zelda and #diablo
Copied it to a #floppy to play on the #Mega65!
#C65
Der #Commodore 64 gilt als der meistverkaufte Heimcomputer der Welt. Weithin unbekannt ist sein Nachfolger, der C65. Es existieren von diesem Gerät nur wenige Prototypen mit hohem Sammlerwert.
For my second target last night, I revisited another old friend - the Sculptor Galaxy, aka The Silver Dollar, aka C65, aka NGC253.
This is amongst the largest of the spiral galaxies that can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere, and is a favourite of mine. This is nearly 5 hours exposure, gain 80, with just a light pollution filter on my Dwarf3. Postprocessing as usual in Snapseed after running through the in-app Stellar Studio tools.

Mega65 a modern retromachine: first contact through the emulator
I was playing around with the Mega65 emulator. It's the first BASIC I've typewritten since the 80s and it was fun. Maybe I'll buy one of these modern retrocomputing like machines 😉
The listing is the Monster Chase Program from the book Stimulating Simulations by C. William Engel.
A new #Mega65 #FPGA Core released today. The 10th Anniversary Edition.
Installed it together with the new rom as my new default and it works great. Lots of bug fixes and improvements.
And a new intro disk to go with the new system software. It's a bundle of new software, demos and games.
Almost a year ago and days from my birthday I got my #Mega65 delivered to the door. Within minutes I open up the package and started playing with my new toy.
And of course I forgot to pause and appreciate the time someone spent creating the cover art. So today I'm doing just that. The mega comes in a really nice box and it really creates the feeling of a true birthday present!

"MEGA65: The First Ten Years"
by Dan Sanderson ( @dddaaannn)
10 years ago, the MEGA65 project was announced. The MEGA65 is somewhat of a followup on the never marketed Commodore C65, which in turn is a followup of the C64.
Happy anniversary! 🍾🎉🎈🥳
A weekend with #8bit computing!
Trying out some new demos and games on the #Mega65 and of course I copy everything that works onto a 3.5" #floppy.
Playing #megachase, a game written in #BASIC65 while listening to Bill Gates memoir "Source Code: My Beginnings".
So #BASIC, #8bitcomputing and #retrocomputing is very much a theme to this saturday!
MegaMage - A Dungeon crawl? written in #BASIC for the #Mega65
Copied it to a floppy, poured a glass of wine and begun to play.
What a fantastic game on this #8bit machine.
#Wargames - My favorite #movie of all time. With the #Mega65 version for the Wargames simulator I can be David Lightman myself.

Copied it onto a 3.5" #floppy to run on the mega. It's simulating David's #IMSAI8080 and #CPM with dialers and everything!
It's a game to be played on an #8bit machine for sure!

Now, my #MEGA65 is not only a MEGA65 and #Commodore #C65 prototype, but it also has become a #C64, as well as all #CBM / #PET models, like the #PET2001 and the other models, both normal and business types.
There are other cores too, such as a ZX Spectrum, Game Boy, Galaga, Bombjack, Ghosts'n Goblins, etc.
There also seem to be more in some form of development stage.
Meine neueste Errungenschaft!
Muss nur noch akklimatisieren, eine MicroSD-Karte finden und dann geht's auf Entdeckungsreise.
Just finished reading the 29th #Discworld novel Nightwatch and felt like I wanted play some #DiscworldMUD this morning.
The #Mega65 is such a great retro experience for stuff like this. Works great with #C64 Cartridges and software.

This is #TotallyNormalComputing in #8bit
Using my #Mega65 in #C64 mode with a #TeensyROM cartridge to connect using NovaTerm over Swiftlink to a local shell on my #Mac Studio.
With 80 column mode, VT102 and ansi colors.
Inserted the #TeensyROM cart to the #Mega65, firmware updated it and connected the ethernet cable.
Works right out of the box with with dhcp. I connected to The Oasis #BBS to try out this new toy.

Bought myself a #TeensyROM cartridge as a #Christmas gift to myself and It arrived today. But I could not wait until the 24th so I opened it a few days too early.
A friend printed out cases in different colors but I think i'm going with the white and use the button from the red one.
