Side-project I've been working on with a small team: Mortal Kombat demake for the NES, in a 5 Megabit cartridge using the classic MMC3 chip (same hardware as some 1991-1992 games).

The source code of Mortal Kombat for the good old NES is now public: https://t.co/MZb4yUSzPE
This is a hack of the original Hummer Team bootleg from 1991.

@MuseumCommodore Incredible effort indeed, only brought down by its need for constant disk-swapping.

@JohnHen65953721 I spent loads on this in the arcade, and then finally bought it for my C64 in the early 1990s I think. Unfortunately I lost the tape 😭

@paladin_seeker Go for it! If it will make you happy, that's the right thing to do. No matter when you started.

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@MuseumCommodore Still do 😉

@HankHamage @ObsoleteSony Nice and clicky, and the d-pad is better than that of the original PS1 controller.
The only thing it's missing is the second pair of shoulder buttons.

@CommodoreBlog Despite a few scuffs, mine is still in working order 😄

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@8BitShowAndTell Nice! I still got my Tungsten E2 in working order.

@oldyzach A perfect game cover if there ever was one 💙

@ninjadynamics When I was a student and started learning assembly, I thought about creating my own OS and calling it "Operol Spritz: the Aperitif System".
Sadly, I never went past creating a bootable 1.44 MB floppy that printed out a fake error message.

@PRegaind @banditloaf @kingmakeress Cool! Looks a lot like this budget Italian edition from 1994.

@SharkaBytes It was also absent from my local arcades, so the first version I played was the PC one, on my family 286 with green phosphor monitor and no soundcard — Yuck!
I got the C64 version sometime later, and it looked, sounded and played so much better!

@oldyzach All versions of Sid Meier's Pirates! are good. All of them.

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@RichardGarriott @ultimadragons @ultimaonlinedev Legendary game, well deserved indeed 👍

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@MikeWinterbauer I love this style!

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@rriveracreative @RawFury @ultimadragons @RichardGarriott @cphonx @MikeWinterbauer It's in my wishlist 😁

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@oldyzach Great game, I still play it from time to time, but... oh, the grind!

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@rhayadercompute This game had lots of interesting features and a fantastic manual...
Unfortunately the actual driving section was unplayable 😅

[Fox Cunning @TheFoxCunning]

@KariLawler Lucky! I never found anything older than a Nintendo WII.
