It's not exactly Crysis.. It's not even DOOM.. But for the real retro crowd BASIC certainly seems to be the true test of a real 1970's microcomputer.
And now mine does it too!
I somehow managed to mess up the memory map configuration when I first tried to get it running and that certainly delay'ed the whole thing a bit(yes, I spent more time than I care to admit), but after learning a lot about cc65 macros and how Bill Gates and Ric Weiland architected their version of BASIC from the experience, it was smooth sailing from there - I even managed to quickly write up some wrappers for saving to and loading from tape! Proudly featuring my #Simple Universal Modem !
I hope the video will be well received. Either way, I had a lot of fun getting to this point - next stop: I2C-land!
