I'm hosting a Halloween Eve livestream on 2022-10-30 at 2 PM (EDT). To begin the livestream, I'll unbox the second MEGA65 title, Showdown - Collector's Edition, from poly.play! Thanks to poly.play for the opportunity and for sponsoring this livestream.
And there's another box that's sat unopened in the studio for some time. This one is from supporter Greg. I've been looking forward to opening it for some time. HINT: It's related to one of my VCFMW 2022 purchases.
For even more fun, I find out if the C64 games in the list below are tricks or treats on the MEGA65 Retro Computer:
Cauldron
Caludron 2
Elvira The Arcade Game
Chiller
Ghostbusters 2
Friday the 13th
Forbidden Forest
Beyond Forbidden Forest
Big Trouble in Little China
Darkland
BONUS: Ghouls and Goblins
Producer Jamie's Hack Shack recommended that last item after I already announced the livestream. So this is a supporter exclusive announcement! π
I'll try them first in C64 mode using the experimental core's (003) .D64 support. If a game doesn't work in MEGA65 C64 mode, I'll boot up V3 of the C64 PAL core.
If the game plays, it's a treat and if it doesn't, it's a trick. I'll play all games for a few minutes, but we won't take a deep-dive into any of them. I'll ask those in the chat room to comment if playability is a trick or treat, although I know much of that depends on how well I play the game!
Visit the link below, hit that notify button, and I'll see you in chat. Chat is only open only to subscribers since I've had a rash of adult SPAM showing up during livestreams. Hopefully, this tactic will reduce that trash.
I appreciate in advance any advice on the titles' gameplay in the comments below (or on the BMAC page if you are reading this as an email newsletter update). I think the only game I played back in the day was Ghostbusters 2 so each of these will be a new, and SCARY, experience.
