Anyway, just a blast of nostalgia — this thing is fun as heck!

And speaking of sound, the C64 Ultimate emulates the original SID chips just fine but I opted to plug in a couple ARM-SIDs into the sockets that they provided (which, of course, also support the original chips). Iconic sound!

There is an internal speaker that plays disk activity sounds, and it takes just as long to load things as the original hardware lol

Dug out an old TAC-2 controller, and loaded one of the pack-in games (contained on a cleverly cassette shaped USB device), a slightly modernized version of the original Bruce Lee. You can see here I opted for the translucent shell w/ obligatory gamer RGBs rather than boring beige…

Check out this manual for it — not just a simple reprint, but a full discussion of usage and programming, like the original.

I’m so sorry, Nancy — you absolutely deserved better than this :(

We just want to fucking live, leave us alone.

Not mentioned above are the Warlock relentlessly shit-talking the demi-goddess we are facing, the Artificer gleefully setting everything flammable on fire, and the poor Cleric just trying to keep her shit together, good times!

Naturally once the Giant Goats were summoned, queue up the various “screaming goats” videos…
