180 Darts for the Commodore 64

This one came out quite a bit longer than I expected, even with the trainer enabled. Part of that was due to the exceptionally long intro scroller that appears to be part of the original, pre-crack game; it's rare to see a longer intro on the real thing than you find in an accompanying cracktro.

0 and X for the Commodore 64

Today I finally started seriously working on a project that has been at the back of my mind for some time now. I have wanted to go through the games on C64.com and record footage of as many of them as I could eventually work through. Unfortunately, I decided to do it in alphabetical order, so this first one is really boring. Still, share this with anyone you think might sit through it to the end, because I need that watch time!
