Finished the C64 game Lester via the C64 Core on the @mega65.bsky.social tonight. Great game that looks very NES with colorful graphics and great music. Well worth a play through and I hope the author does another.

Finally, got my video on a Hunt the Wumpus on the #Mega65 @mega65.bsky.social uploaded! Lots of issues caused me to have to shoot it about 547 times....the D81 is now uploaded.
Have fun, improve it, it has been a long time since I did anything in BASIC so I was rusty!!

My Hunt the Wumpus on the @mega65.bsky.social #mega65 is coming along! It should be 100% playable tomorrow evening, I'm not saying it will be done, just saying it will be playable. It would be done tonight, but I have a football game to watch.

SNOW DAY THE NEXT TWO DAYS!
I have been threatening to write a graphical Hunt the Wumpus on the #Mega65 from @mega65.bsky.social! I get so little time with my retro machines, but I think tomorrow is the day for it!
Cold, snowy days with a cup of hot cocoa really gets my creativity flowing!
