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

A lovely set of numbers! Although back in the early-ish 1980s using a 1200 baud modem with my C64 to connect to a BBS seemed like I was living in the future...I think the upload was 75 baud...times have changed :)
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

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.
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.
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
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!

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.
