One of the C64’s earliest titles, Avenger is a Space Invaders clone so close you half expected Taito’s lawyers to invade. Basic sights and sounds, but the arcade tension is bang on.

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.

What will you get when you buy your very own Sentinel 65X?
You get the board, ready to plug into USB-C power/monitor/speakers/controllers. It has a socketed system ROM. You'll get access to a quality compiler toolchain. And you get a chance to have what you create in the 512KB ROM as it updates.
