Discs of TRON on MiSTer
I noticed in an update that Discs of TRON has become available as a MiSTer core so I thought I'd give it a try. With the controller configured correctly it plays really well, especially as the arcade original had a custom control scheme including a paddle!

SLURP
slurpy-c64
This is Slurpy on the C64. Released by Random Games in 1984, you play the titular character, who looks like a head with a snout.
I play through each difficulty level to show how well this little known yet highly playable game works.

SID:
SID_Amiga
This is the C64 SID composition of the Amiga game Turrican, played on a real A1200!
Pretty raw capture, no editing except for cropping and scaling.

I won this little gem in a prize draw on the Re:Enthused channel's Road to 2000 contest!
It's taken me months to get around to finishing this video but here's my best effort given the screen is not backlit.

In this stream I played with my knob... AKA my home built spinner!
I played Zektor by Sega (1982) a colour vector game with speech and ended up with a stream high score of 127,400 which I'm very pleased with!
I also played a bit of Arkanoid by request using the spinner. It really makes the game more playable using the control method for which it's designed!

SNIFF
SniffBuerk
Here's a very quick play of a very obscure and rare game called Sniff Buerk (Snifburk Simulator in-game) in which you have to zap the zits with Biactol before his face explodes. A smiley face on his hat will fill your Biactol level and clear his face of zits.

mmhsk-gigawing
In this stream I played Giga Wing by Capcom (1999) using the MiSTerFPGA for the Mamemeister High Score Kerfuffle - Season 11 Part 1. A bullet hell shoot-em-up that's really fun to play and has a mental scoring system!
I finished with a score of: 239,259,123,170, killed at the end by a very unfair fart... I mean laser blast that took up a significant portion of the screen! ?

This is Episode 3 of the LondonRetroVideoGames 8 bit vs 16 bit Challenge in which Lewis will play a 16 bit game then responders will choose an 8 bit game so we can all compare the eras of gaming. Lewis's challenge video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBV0Qu6PiCw
Here I play Streets of Rage on the Sega Megadrive as Lewis's choice and I play a kind of related 8 bit game. Which game? Watch to find out. Slight oopsie at the end but it's all a part of the fun ?

In this stream I played Iron Horse by Konami from 1986 for the Mamemeister High Score Kerfuffle Season 8 Part 9. Probably the most frustrating game I've ever had the misfortune to play and I'm glad it's behind me ;)

C64 B
c64-background-task
More retro coding, this time a bit more involved.
I used a cross-assembler on the Linux PC to write the code, the Commodore virtual disk management tool droiD64 to copy the target across and the Vice 64 emulator. It was fun relearning this stuff :D
***TECH ALERT!!***
The code is shown below. In the first example, the bytes at the start at the location pointer and BASIC header. The second part just shows the changes needed to tell the file system to load it at $C000 (49152) the start of the high memory block we used to use often back in the day. I also changed the sprite block location to give BASIC more room to play with,
