How about a bit of Unreal II by Purple Motion on the Acorn Electron? (albeit with no volume control, limited frequency range, no noise channel and only a single tone channel)

Flappy Bird for Acorn Electron WIP. Sneak peek at the new backdrop and the bird itself. I managed to create enough space for a second screen buffer, which will be the next step

I can now throw any CHIP-8 or S-CHIP game at my emulator (running on the Acorn Electron) without problems. I added a menu that allows me to quickly switch between games on the disk

A classic BBC Micro track originally coded in BASIC - Addicts' Anthem by Daniel Pugh. There always seemed to be a very slight pause between pattern transitions, so I've taken the music data and re-implemented in 6502 assembler (Hence the strange playback rate).

Revisiting another #C64 #SID conversion to the #SN76489. I loved playing Last Ninja 2 on the Acorn Electron and #BBCMicro... but lacked any music. Here's a conversion of Central Park Loader by Matt Gray. Can't reproduce all the SID character, but the SN76489 is giving it a go.

The RiscPC will reach the ripe old age of thirty on Monday, 15th April - so why not mark the occasion by joining the RISC OS User Group of London's meeting that evening? https://t.co/jexUhoseuW #Birthday #Celebration #London #Meeting #RiscPC #ROUGOL #UserGroup #RISC_OS

It seems like only ten years ago that the RiscPC turned twenty years old, and there was an article posted here to commemorate the event, and we even had cake an

Sideways RAM support for the BBC Micro LZSS Music Player is in - will use as many banks as you have available to fit the track into memory, but few need more than 4. Here's a classic C64 conversion running in the player - Cybernoid by Jeroen Tel #bbcmicro #sn76489 #c64 #mos6581

Modern day tools are so cool for developing games on retro computers. Here's the BBC Micro source code for 'Crazee Rider' assembling using VSCode, Beeb VSC and BeebAsm. It then packages up the object files into a disk image suitable for loading and running on an emulator.
