Rally-X

Rally-X started life in 1980 as a Namco arcade maze game, where players drive a blue car through a scrolling maze collecting yellow flags while avoiding red enemy cars trying to ram them. It reached North America through Midway Manufacturing in February 1981, and it's remembered as one of the first arcade games to feature multi directional scrolling, a bonus stage, and continuous background music.

The version we're playing in this video is a brand new 2026 ColecoVision homebrew port, built using CVBasic, a BASIC compiler for the ColecoVision created by developer nanochess. This particular build was developed with help from Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, and the project also includes support for the Super Game Module, an add on that expands the ColecoVision's memory and audio capabilities.

In the game itself, players guide their car around a maze, hunting down flags while dodging boulders and red chaser cars. If a chaser gets close, you can drop a smoke screen to stun it for a short time, though it won't stay down for long.

In this video we're playing through this new Rally-X build with full gameplay and commentary, running it on MiSTer FPGA.

Robocop 2

RoboCop 2 is a run and gun arcade game developed by Data East, released in 1991 as a sequel to Data East's original 1988 RoboCop arcade game. It's based on the RoboCop 2 movie, and it's arcade exclusive, meaning the home console and computer versions released around the same time were actually completely different games built by other developers.

The game runs on a belt scrolling system, letting the player move in all directions rather than being locked to one lane. It uses two separate shot buttons, one for shooting left and one for shooting right, so you can move one way while firing the other. Alongside RoboCop's unlimited handgun, players can pick up various limited use weapons scattered through the levels, and RoboCop can punch and throw enemies at close range too. At certain points the game shifts into a shooting gallery perspective, with a crosshair for taking down enemies in the background.

WOLF

WOLF is a brand new first-person action game built for the Game Boy Color, released by Thalamus Digital Publishing in 2026. It runs on a custom raycasting engine, turning the handheld into a maze of textured corridors and colour-coded levels, each with its own distinct visual identity. In this video we're playing through WOLF with full gameplay and commentary, running the ROM on the MiSTer FPGA.

The goal in each level is simple on paper: hunt down and kill the required number of enemies, recover the Exit Key, and get out before your health runs out. You start with three Health Points, and enemies patrol, pursue, and fire projectiles that can be dodged if you're quick. An overhead radar helps track the shifting level layout, and picking up the Radar item reveals enemy positions too.

WOLF was designed, coded, and illustrated by Shane McCafferty, with music and sound effects by Sloopygoop, for a Rocketship Park production under Thalamus Digital. No generative AI was used in the making of this game.

Paprium

Today's gameplay and commentary session is all about Paprium, the beat 'em up developed and published by WaterMelon for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Paprium was designed by Gwénaël Godde and was first announced back in 2012, before finally releasing worldwide on December 16, 2020, after roughly eight years of development. During that long wait, the game became one of the most talked about examples of vaporware in the retro gaming space, so getting hands on time with the finished product is a genuinely notable moment for Mega Drive fans.

For this session we are running Paprium through the Paprium_MegaDrive_MiSTer core, a community built MiSTer FPGA core made by developer MisterPezz82. This is a fork of the MiSTer Mega Drive core that adds support for the Everdrive Pro style version of Paprium, including nuked-md audio handling and MD+ CDDA music playback. The project builds on years of prior community reverse engineering work, including Krikzz's mega-ppm project, Genesis Plus GX contributions, and prior MAME research into the game. It is an unofficial, fan made core, it does not include the ROM or the WAV audio files, and it is not affiliated with WaterMelon or Sega.

If you are new to the channel, this is where we sit down with games like this, play through them properly, and talk through what makes them interesting as we go, whether that is the history behind the release, the hardware running it, or just what is happening on screen. If that sounds like your kind of content, stick around, there is more retro gaming, FPGA cores, and commentary style playthroughs on the way. A subscribe helps a lot if you want to catch the next one.

Truxton Extreme

Truxton Extreme is set to release on July 30, 2026, marking the first new entry in the Truxton series in 38 years. The original Truxton launched in 1988 as a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Toaplan and published by Taito.

Original composer Masahiro Yuge returns to score the game. Besides the Story mode, the game includes Arcade, Team co-op, a score-attack Arena, Training, Tutorial, and a Model Viewer for checking out defeated enemies.

Chuckie Egg 3

Chuckie Egg 3 is a brand new 2026 release from Langford Productions, available now on PC through itch.io. It's a follow up to the ZX Spectrum original Chuckie Egg, and rather than continuing the adventure style approach used in Chuckie Egg 2, it goes back to the fast paced arcade feel of the first game.

You're playing as Henhouse Harry, a part time farmhand whose job this time is collecting and painting eggs before Easter. Across each level you'll find unpainted eggs scattered around that will stun Harry if he bumps into them, so the goal is to load up a paintbrush, paint the eggs, grab them before they turn back to plain eggs, and get them into the lorry for payment.

The game is free to download, with an option to pay what you feel is fair to support the developer.

In this video we're playing through it with full commentary, since that's what this channel is all about, sitting down with new and classic games and talking through them as we go.

Artic Onslaught

Arctic Onslaught is a new 2026 ZX Spectrum game from The Death Squad, and in this video we're playing it with full gameplay and commentary running on MiSTer FPGA.

The premise is simple but brutal: slide across the ice while dodging bombs and irate local wildlife, one hit and you're done. The developer has said Arctic Onslaught was inspired by the offline "Dinosaur" game built into Google Chrome and the "Surf" game in Windows, and that the whole thing was made in the space of two evenings. A bugfix version was later released to stop the game crashing after death.

If you enjoy watching new ZX Spectrum homebrew running on real hardware through MiSTer FPGA, this is for you.
