Strong Bad playing "Snake Boxer 5" on an Atari 2600 with some "friends" Yes that title screen is actually running on the 2600. As with all Atari 2600 things you can assume it was a pain to get it working.

after finishing Riven remake the youngest kid didn't remember Myst III Exile so played through it too. Had to copy files with the Apple Superdrive that needs magic handshake to enumerate on Linux. Need to decide if we're continuing on to the Lions in the Curtains

a2 starpath, a 256-byte Apple II intro just released at the Outline demo party. It's a variant of Hellmood's 64-byte DOS demo but in Apple II 6502 assembly. It takes 1:15 to get up to full speed in case you want to skip ahead. youtube.com/watch?v=iTF9ao…
