CLC-88 Compy – The 8 bit computer
Now it’s time to start making some decisions for the 8-bit computer. One of the hardest decisions is what CPU to use, because any option would leave out half of the potential coders. Most of the coders with asm abilities are skilled in only one of the two most popular processors, the 6502 or the […]

This is something that I had flying around my head once I started porting Prince of Persia for the Atari 800 (probably), so when I was watching this video I had a felling of “this is it”. Sadly, […]
