Testing our MiSTer Floppy adaptor for #Multisystem2

Based on the great work of Rob Smith, this Floppy interface for the Amiga Minimig FPGA Core directly reads 3.5 inch floppy discs.

More updates soon.

This is Amnesia, a game I developed for the BBC Micro that was never published/released officially. As you can see it's a work in progress tech demo with programmer graphics ( my own ). I think I worked on this for about 5 or 6 weeks and decided to devote my time to other projects.

How cool is this. @rubbishheap.bsky.social (Vix) has this wonderful article about the PC-FX published on @timeextension.com

A great read and follows up on the heels of the video series all about the history of Hudson Soft.

Hey new followers! I'm Saki, and with my buddies Hisao and Kaito we review mostly retro games, Japanese ones at that. We also dive into just what some of the games are culturally, like this err...dodgeball game?! And explain if you can play them with or without Japanese skills. Ja-ne ne!
