Going through some old backups, I located the recording of an original Ultima: Escape From Mt Drash cassette. A friend came across an original copy around Y2K, recorded the tape, and send me a copy in MP3 format. At the time, I didn't know how to convert this into a TAP, so I extracted the files and...
In the late 90's, there was an online service called Gamespy that helped gamers connect for multiplayer games. I used their "handle generator" and it gave me "Fuzzy-Bad-Mofo" or something like that. I shortened that to just "Fuzzybad" and have been using it ever since.
Thanks for the feedback! The bike animation took some doing, it was my first time using "half-character" animation (4 pixels at a time). I could make the animation smoother with finer movement, but I'm not sure it would provide much benefit for needing a bunch more character definitions. I...

Be honest, these examples are light years beyond what the engineers even dreamed was possible with VIC-1. :) At any rate, the color palette is a personal preference. The color choices are fine; I'd just like...
Aha! Thank you so much for sharing this, I suspected it was a known issue with FE3 but missed the thread you linked me to. Hopefully there will be a new firmware that will address the crosstalk issue at some point. I'd suggest that FE3 distributors add a mention of this issue to FE3 docs as a "...
