Back in the day in 1997, when a 200 MHz StrongARM processor used software rendered 3D for a racing game. :)

Loving this C64 easter Egg that someone at TT Games put into the new LEGO Batman game. I'm not sure who it was that did it, but I need to find out from some of my former colleagues! If you know please do tell!
Steel Ranger 2 for the #C64 is simply stunning.
One more to celebrate my old mate Colin Porch’s sequel to Head over Heels - Return to Blacktooth. Released last week by @thalamusdigital.bsky.social
Managed to assemble and run the RAXOFT tests in my emulator last night and discovered that the main reason why the series generator wasn’t working was the SRA instruction. I wasn’t preserving the carry bit. (ANDing it back into bit 7 rather than ORing it). Job’s a good-un.
Two-player #BBCMicro Elite now has a two-player dashboard
Each player has their own set of indicators: speed, attitude control, fore and aft shields, laser temperature, energy, missiles and compass
They share the scanner, which works well
It’s starting to feel like a proper game!

Infe2tation: coming soon! The galactic sheriff is back to unravel the Mystery of the Crystal Moon. Run ’n’ gun action with massive levels, varied enemies, 4 distinct areas, fun power ups, and a mini-game featuring robo-sidekick, D3P-UT! Late June release. #c64 #commodore64 #pixelart #8bit #indiegame
Did you know that Super Mario Bros 2. on the #NES had a bug where a single bit in its code was accidentally set to 0 instead of 1?
Well, this little oversight resulted in the 8th frame of many animations in the game getting skipped over

If you are free tomorrow do you fancy a visit to the Northwest Computer Museum to help them celebrate their 3rd birthday? Entry is free and there's so much to see and do. I hope to see you there, please say hello if you do! It's located in Leigh, near Manchester. Here's a flyer from their socials.
Two-player #BBCMicro #Elite is coming along nicely.
It now supports two pilots in two ships with two controllers and a split-view screen
Here are some work-in-progress videos - see the thread for an explanation
There’s lots to fix, but at least we have a proof-of-concept…

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate.
It's so good, I had to make a video.

Some tweaks to the emulator this afternoon. The port decoding has been moved out of the cpu class to make the Z80 generic. Added BRIGHT attribute. There’s a bug in the emulator that’s causing issues with some calculations. I think it’s manifesting itself in the series generator.
