Well, I did it. Bad Apple on the #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems. 80x60 text mode, 20 fps, native mp3 playback with its VS1053b onboard chip. all in glorious 8-bit 6502 mode. Never knew how to do a "Bad Apple" implementation, so I sat down, and learned by doing it! youtu.be/y1wAiKe50Ao

I was traveling for a week and intended to work on CDROM support for #PicoGUS while on the road but forgot the charger for my Pocket386, whoops. Now I'm home. Back in the day I liked how the opening FMV in Return to Zork called back to the original text adventures while saying LOOK AT OUR CD POWER
