Thrust on the Commodore 64 (Firebird, 1986) is still one of those games that punish you beautifully. I love it! At first glance, you realize this is a game of physics, inertia-based physics, and fuel management. I wish I did better at school LOL! Luckily, it's also a game of common sense too, phew! Towing the precious Klystron pod while desperately trying not to smash into cavern walls all the while avoiding turret gunfire, this was the ultimate stress back in the day, and we loved it. And Rob Hubbard's title music? As always, Rob delivers; that's why he's my favorite Commodore 64 SID musician. You may recall, last year I gave away 100 digital editions of his book The Master of Magic on this X channel. This month I am giving away a Commodore 64 Ultimate to one lucky SUBSCRIBER! Being a subscriber is $3 USD/month with monthly giveaways and exclusive videos. Zzap!64 magazine rated it a massive 94% "At last!! A version of Gravitar which plays just as well as the original. Although not being a totally faithful copy, Thrust adds its own elements and comes up with one of the most addictive and playable arcade games." Absolutely agree with this rating and Zzap!64's love for this game. What about you guys, was Thrust a favorite of yours too?

5 Facts you didn't want to know about Alien Breed for the Commodore Amiga Alien Breed (1991) is a landmark Amiga title that defined Team17’s early style: tense, atmospheric, and brutally addictive. It was perfect for co-op gaming with mates. Programmed by Andreas Tadic and Peter Tuleby, with graphics by Rico Holmes and iconic music by Allister Brimble. 1. Top-down run-and-gun sci-fi shooter heavily inspired by Aliens: You (and a friend in co-op) explore an infested space station, blasting xenomorph-like aliens (I originally thought they were aliens) while managing limited ammo and health. It mixes fast arcade action with tense resource management. 2. Team17’s breakthrough hit: This was only their second game, after Full Contact, and their first full-price release. It put the UK developer and publisher on the map, before they became famous for the Worms series. 3. Extremely well-received on Amiga: Launched to critical acclaim, with many magazines scoring it 85–91% (CVG 91%, Zero 91%, CU Amiga 90%, Amiga Action 87%). It was usually praised for its smooth multi-directional scrolling, atmosphere, co-op play, and technical excellence on the Amiga. 4. Infamously difficult: The original game was notoriously tough and short, with only six levels. Because of this, Team17 later released Alien Breed Special Edition 92, with rebalanced difficulty, extra levels, and various fixes. In my opinion, it’s a much more enjoyable game. 5. No official Commodore 64 version: it was developed primarily for the Amiga, and the Commodore 64 never got a conversion :( Would you have played it? I would have big time! Still one of the best top-down shooters ever made on the Amiga. Who else remembers the panic when the ammo ran low and the aliens kept coming?

Today, Stern Pinball, Inc., revealed Metallica Remastered – a technologically advanced version of one of Stern Pinball’s greatest hits. Metallica Pinball was originally released in 2013 and is one of the most successful and beloved pinball games ever. Metallica Remastered has elevated the game to the modern era with gameplay, electronics, and presentation improvements. Metallica Remastered pinball games are available now in Premium and Limited Edition (LE) models, along with a full line of accessories available at launch. Metallica Remastered is updated with a full-color LCD display featuring all-new animations and live concert video footage. Stern’s modern Spike 2 electronics will power the gameplay experience. Fans will enjoy expanded gameplay and improved presentation with 22 songs (8 more than the original) and expanded gameplay rules. Cabinet improvements include an Expression Lighting system and 2 all-new art packages by Metallica artist Rhys Cooper. Players will experience the same great flow from the original Metallica playfield layout with geometry and mechanical improvements, new versions of gameplay toys, updated mechanical devices, and new UV lighting effects. Since forming in 1981, Metallica has become one of the most influential and popular bands in musical history. Through their groundbreaking music, electrifying live performances, and a cultural impact that has extended beyond music, Metallica has garnered a massive global following of dedicated fans. Their critical acclaim and influence match the Hall of Fame band’s commercial success in the world of rock music and pinball. Stern Pinball has ensured that extra care and attention to detail has gone into every facet of Metallica Remastered while respecting the timeless classic game created by pinball legends John Borg and Lyman F. Sheats, Jr. The design team, led again by John Borg and software engineer Raymond Davidson, has created a modern version of the original masterpiece. John Borg’s classic playfield architecture has been enhanced with three all-new sculptures: Sparky, the Hammer, new RGB-illuminated Skulls, and a new Metallica logo spell-out on the back panel. Dramatic UV lighting effects have been implemented throughout the playfield and on Sparky, and the game includes numerous quality and durability refinements. The iconic Lyman Sheats rule set has been carefully enhanced to add two new game modes based on Metallica’s two most recent albums, last year’s Grammy-winning 72 Seasons and 2016’s Hardwired…to Self-Destruct, as well as a new “Blackened” Wizard Mode. The Metallica Remastered software also includes numerous refinements throughout and an enhanced illuminated insert array to support the new game rules while preserving the classic gameplay feel from the original. Metallica Remastered features an entirely new suite of presentation elements, including all video content and animations, new sound effects, and over 1,000 new speech calls that include callouts by the band. Eight new Metallica songs have been seamlessly integrated into the game and include new supporting animations, movies, and HD-quality live concert footage selected by the band. The Expression Lighting system for the cabinet and speakers comes standard with the Limited Edition version and is available as an accessory upgrade for Premium models.

North & South on the Amiga – One of the most charming 16-bit takes on the Civil War! Infogrames brought the humor of the Belgian comic Les Tuniques Bleues to life in this 1989 Commodore Amiga classic. Pick the Union or Confederacy, conquer territory across the USA map, manage railroads for income, and dive into hilarious arcade-style battles. Pure strategy mixed with cartoon action! Here are 5 interesting facts about the Amiga version: 1. The game is directly based on the long-running Belgian comic series Les Tuniques Bleues by Raoul Cauvin and Willy Lambil. It keeps the light-hearted, satirical tone instead of a serious war sim, complete with cartoonish characters and animations. 2. Released in 1989 by Infogrames for Amiga and Atari ST. It was the original version, developed in-house with stunning colourful graphics, sampled sound effects, and a memorable soundtrack by Charles Callet that includes funny national anthem parodies depending on the language chosen. 3. Five languages supported right from the start: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. The menu has fun hidden touches, like clicking on the photographer's backside for a funny reaction. 4. Strategy meets arcade perfectly – move armies on the map to capture states, then switch to real-time mini-games when attacking forts (dodge cannon fire and plant dynamite) or trains (race along the tracks). Army battles let you command infantry, cavalry, and artillery with side-view chaos. 5. Excellent two-player support with hotseat or simultaneous play. The game is fast-paced, accessible, and sessions usually last 15-30 minutes, making it perfect for quick matches or long rivalries. A true Amiga classic that still holds up for its humour, presentation, and addictive blend of strategy and action. Who’s played it – North or South side?

Before Sensible Soccer became a legend, this 1989 Commodore Amiga football game changed everything with banana kicks, indoor arenas, and arcade chaos! 5 mind-blowing facts about MicroProse Soccer that prove it was ahead of its time. 1. The Forerunner to a Classic: Developed by Sensible Software (Jon Hare & Chris Yates) for the C64 in 1988 and ported to Amiga in 1989 by Electronic Pencil Company, it directly inspired the legendary Sensible Soccer series. Many call it "Sensible Soccer v0.1". 2. Pioneering Banana Kicks: One of the first games with after-touch! Hold the button and angle your shot for swerving "banana" kicks in three power levels — a game-changer that Kick Off later popularized. 3. Indoor 6-a-Side Mayhem: Besides full 11-a-side outdoor matches, it featured frantic indoor soccer on a smaller pitch with boards (inspired by the real Major Indoor Soccer League). 4. Many retro gamers still argue the C64 original feels snappier (are you one of them), but the Amiga version shines with better graphics and sound. 5. Inspired by an Arcade Hit: Jon Hare based it heavily on the 1985 arcade game Tehkan World Cup (Tecmo), adapting its top-down view and physics for joystick controls while adding original twists. Zzap magazine rated the Amiga version just 62%, did it deserve more?

Halo: Campaign Evolved has quickly become one of my most anticipated games of the summer after its incredible new trailer We got a whole load of new information on the game as well, here are the highlights: - Previews in general are glowing, critics are widely praising the visuals, new mission designs and gameplay options - The entire game is playable in third person - Reload speeds are faster than the original - In general, rooms are bigger to accomodate for 4-player coop (original campaign was 2 players only) - There are environmental additions that point you to the right direction line markers on the foor similar to CE Anniversary - Health packs are gone, both health and shield regenerate - There is fall damage - Sprint is here but can be turned off, Aiming down sight is also here and is also toggleable - Energy Sword is now useable - Wraiths are now driveable and hijacking is in the game - Sound Design is faithful to the original with the classic barks of Elites and Grunts all returning -Goal is to make this a “modern entry point to the Halo franchise for new fans” - It will be PS5 Pro Enhanced Overall, I went from being “Eh.” to really looking forward to playing this next month. I adore Halo CE classic and nothing can replace that but this looks like its doing everything right to stand out while still staying faithful to the original, I think it will be a great time.

I’ve built an order execution tool specifically for IB users. The open-source code is available on GitHub, but since most traders probably prefer something simple and ready to use, I also made an executable (.exe) version and uploaded it to Google Drive. This order execution tool can automatically retrieve your account balance and calculate position size based on your specified risk %. You can choose to set the stop loss at the LOD (low of the day) or enter it manually. The tool automatically places stop orders according to your stop level, one stop or 3 stops Why three stop orders? You can refer to Jeff Sun, CFTe Jeff Sun’s article for the reasoning behind this risk management approach. It also comes with customizable hotkeys for quick and efficient order placement. In the demo video, I used a virtual keyboard to show you how it works in real time. Lastly, this tool is completely free to use. If you find it helpful, you’re welcome to buy me a coffee — your support is what keeps me motivated to keep improving and adding new features. I’ve recorded a demo video showing how to set it up and use it — it’s already posted on X for reference. Github: Googledrive:

[New Xbox Controller Review] #ad Special thanks to Qrdgame_offcial for supplying me with a review unit of their Ferrox M5 Xbox & PC Controller QRD Ferrox M5 The QRD Ferrox M5 is a Wireless Xbox One–style gamepad with a transparent design. Since it targets Xbox One natively, it works automatically on PC and Xbox Series S/X. The included 2.4Ghz USB Dongle also supports Switch and Android with the right adapter (USB C), but I was not able to test those in time for this review. A Wireless Xbox Controller The QRD FERROX M5 comes in a familiar Xbox layout with Hall Effect joysticks, RGB rings around the sticks, and a magnetic & detachable clear shell that shows the internals. The controller feels very similar to a standard Xbox pad in terms of shape and size, but it’s slightly lighter at compared to the usual Xbox controller weight. The lighter weight makes it easier to hold for longer sessions without hand fatigue. The D-Pad is surprisingly good at dialing special moves feels as solid and responsive as the official Xbox controller, and that’s impressive at a lower price point. I spent a few days trying out the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection exclusively using this controller and I did not notice any difference at all. Capabilities From what I’ve tested, the controller performs extremely well for action games, fighting games, and shooters. The Hall Effect joysticks offer smooth movement and precise control with no drift issues. The D-Pad uses micro switches, so every input is tactile and accurate. The back triggers support an adaptive “trigger stop” mode, which shortens the travel distance for faster reaction time in FPS games or quicker blocks in Fighting Games. You also get 4 back macro buttons, turbo mode, and adjustable joystick sensitivity with deadzone options. Vibration strength and RGB lighting modes are also customizable. What can it do The FERROX M5 includes an 800mAh battery that lasts around 8 hours of gameplay. It only uses the 2.4Ghz wireless connection, not Bluetooth, so it always requires the included USB Dongle. The good thing is once you sync it with your Xbox or PC, you don’t need to sync it again—it carries over between both devices automatically. The 2.4G connection is stable and low latency, and the controller has a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio and mic support. It also features a quick calibration system to keep sticks and triggers accurate over time. The overall grip and shape feel close to the official Xbox controller, comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the transparent shell gives it a distinct look. Areas of improvement I initially had trouble charging the controller while playing because connecting it to the Xbox via USB would disable all inputs, making it unusable in wired mode. But luckily QRD Support helped and provided me with an updat - I had to connect it to a PC, download the firmware tool from QRD’s website, and update the controller manually. After installing the new firmware, the controller can now charge while being used normally on Xbox, so the issue is fully resolved. The Xbox button also behaves differently on Xbox, where the single press acts like hold and the hold acts like single press; this issue doesn’t appear on PC. Syncing with the dongle took a few attempts on both Xbox and PC, but once paired, it never needed syncing again. The wireless mode is strictly 2.4G with no Bluetooth support, so it cannot connect without the dongle, though the benefit is that one pairing works across both Xbox and PC. Final Summary ✅ Hall Effect Joystick ✅ Lights in the dark ✅ Good D-Pad for input dialing ✅ Light Controller ❌ First sync can be annoying on PC ❌ No bluetooth for phone usage - Dongle is necessary ❌ Needs an update for the Xbox Wired issues which require a PC The Controller is available on Amazon for $59.99, and will be part of the Black Friday Deals on their official website for even more discount!

I love the Arcade1Up Official cabinets that Trista has given me the last couple years. Yes, you can run free emulators on almost any device, but having the games running in a cabinet with arcade controls is a much better experience, even though it is just a packaged emulator. I was pretty decent back in the day, but after playing these for a while, I got farther than young-John ever did. Recently I played an original Joust machine at Cidercade and on my second game, I blew away my previous best score at home — 158k! The subtle control latency of the emulated experience versus the real thing matters! I measured the press-to-flap latency at home, and it looks like about 80ms. It isn’t blatantly obvious, but it shows up in the game feel and control error rate. I know there is a hard core community around emulator optimization, and with high refresh rate monitors it is possible to get objectively lower latency than the original CRT based hardware, but there is no reason the popular consumer versions can’t get most of the way there. This is probably just a matter of backing up a triple buffered swap chain or extra layers of image scaling / UI compositor getting in the way. Phase sync to the last quarter or so of the video interval and swap to the actual display should cut that latency in half. Doing the bit plane graphics and scaling directly to /dev/fb0 with software would be a guaranteed low latency path if you can get vsync timing. Trivia: The real Joust, and all the classic Williams games, didn’t even page flip, they just drew straight to the frame buffer, paying attention to the scan time.
