It was amazing what could be done in 8-bit graphics.
I wrote a graphic asm routine that ran on the old VIC20. Used an 8bit 6510, same asm as the 6502.
It was a wire-frame twin engine plane flying low over a dessert highway. Users view was from a point 15ft or so above the tail of the plane. It looked pretty good considering the weak hardware. I was proud of how the spinning props looked.
Not sure what the guy I wrote it for ever did with it.
Also made a program to use the VIC modem to decode RTTY... It was fun reading the shortwave news services and watching for keywords and having it sound an alarm if the keywords came up.
I still have my Nintendo system and I have that game too along with Super Mario Bros, and Duck Hunt, oh man I remember duck hunt..but they would never allow in this day and age the duck hunt gun to be used
