68000 🇺🇦Drip 2 by Vector5 Games was released a few days ago: <a href="https://vector5games.itch.io/drip-2-the-sequel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://vector5games.itch.io/drip-2-the-sequel</a>I loved the first part so I bought the second part and it's also a wonderful <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C64</a> game that is fun to play and that I recommend. I really like well made games with a simple game principle.Put it on my Anbernic RG 405M so I can play on the move.Drip reminds me a little bit of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Qix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qix</a> even both games are very different but not completely. It was the first game of its kind I ever played. I loved playing Qix when I was a child. And I love playing Drip now. ;)<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Drip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Drip</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Drip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Drip2</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Vector5Games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vector5Games</a>

John HarrisJust remembered that the <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NES</a> has a port of <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Qix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qix</a>, and wondering how it's implemented. The NES doesn't have a bitmapped graphics mode, but QIX is an intrinsically bitmapped game.Checking <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/NesCartDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NesCartDB</a> (<a href="https://nescartdb.com/profile/view/1034/qix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nescartdb.com/profile/view/1034/qix</a>) reveals the cart has 16K of RAM onboard, which makes sense. I presume it fills a portion of the visible screen with unique tiles and then draws on the definition table to create a makeshift bitmap?
