Welp I guess I wasn't done with this project! Video updated with:

  • 16:18 - Trying ferrite cores for the interference
  • 16:55 / 20:15 - The final playtest seemed like a "Frozen Memories" song moment so I've changed the music for the big ESB switch-on, and some other tidying in that section
  • 24:48 - Addressed and resolved screen flickering when pressing fire!

Meh you've pretty much played it playing empire... I have a weird love/hate with his games, I never particularly liked much of it, but it was definitely memorable. For example one of my earliest *ever* memories was playing METAGALACTIC LLAMAS BATTLE AT THE EDGE OF TIME on the then still fairly new VIC 20 (actually that one wasn't bad...)

Have you seen that someone’s porting the 2600 version of Empire Strikes Back over to the C64? It’s still a WIP, but is looking great so far. Have a look here: https://youtu.be/jQUMX9EWcX0
