Got a couple of days off. Time for a pint and some gaming, 🕹️ Tonight I had a go at "Street Surfer", "Ocean Conqueror" and "Fighting Warrior" (You know, to separate it from all the other well known warriors that don't fight in games.).
A picture of a desktop with a monitor showing the loading screen to the C64 game "Fighting Warrior". The screen is on a C128DCR with a SPARC classic beside it. Infront of those is a U64 breadbin model with white TAC-2 and the cassette case on it. Beside it is datasette, a beer and a last ninja 2 mug with with pens in it.

I take a look at the Americana re-release of Legend of the Knucker-Hole on the Commodore 64, originally released by English Software. Is it still platform fun or platform pain? Find out. #Commodore64 #Americana #RetroGaming mastertronic.co.uk/game-review-...

Hmm, this C64 keyboard font on Github isn't that great. Many of the shapes differ significantly from the source; most are too wide. For the Ultimate, it had to be completely authentic. We'd have been torn to shreds if it wasn't. 😬 szabadkai.github.io/c64-keyboard...

#OnThisDay 1990 : The first issue of Commodore Format for the #C64 was published by Future Publishing. The magazine ran for 61 issues until its final edition in October 1995. #retrogaming #90s
Commodore Format Issue 1. It costs £99 loads in one second and will soon transform 64 gaming...forever!

It will soon be forgotten in a couple of months. Wait, it didn't say that on the cover. 😁

A founders edition C64 ultimate edition with Sherwood & Impossible mission 3 cassette cases resting on it. Behind it we can see a 1530 datasette and the loading screen of IM3 executing. There's also a TAC-2 joystick prepared and ready for action. The screen is standing on a C128DCR.

Posted by Matt Gray today for his Kickstarter backers: Some good news in this update as I have another finished Last Ninja 2 R5 track for you to hear and it's my new version of Central Park Loading Theme. I've put it up on Bandcamp where you can listen or download and hopefully the rest of the LN2 R5 album won't be too far away.
