Finished the C64 game Lester via the C64 Core on the @mega65.bsky.social tonight. Great game that looks very NES with colorful graphics and great music. Well worth a play through and I hope the author does another.

Less than one week left for your submissions to enter the "Screenful of BASIC compo", a funny little BASIC65 competition where the only rule is that the entire LISTing has to fit onto a single 80x25 screen.
This is your chance!
