#4F 15 Strike Eagle, Infiltrator and 688 Attack Sub were some of my first games.
And then came Leisure Suit Larry and the tweenage years.

#8Wow, blast from the past! I was on the architecture / micro-architecture team for the 29K and 29050, and your story of writing and debugging the emulator brought up similar memories of working on the performance simulator for these chips.
Very impressive work -- congratulations!

#10Writing a windowing OS straight in machine code for the Am29000 is wild. The emulator debugging story is the part I would love expanded.
