Pico Hunt

๐ŸŽฏ Lock. Load. Duck season is back - 8-bit style. Welcome to Pico Hunt, a gloriously unhinged reboot of a classic NES favorite, now flapping its wings on the quirky and brilliant Picotron system by Turbochop! ๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿ’ฅ

Made with love, code, and a bit of chaos, Pico Hunt takes the simple, addictive mechanics of the NES era and dials it up with indie flair and a slightly concerning appetite for duck destruction. ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŽฎ

Whether you're a retro fan, an indie game junkie, or just someone who enjoys pixelated carnage involving waterfowl - you’re going to want to check this one out. Don’t worry: no real ducks were harmed... probably. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mario Smash Football

⚽ Mario Smash Football (aka Super Mario Strikers) is two decades old - and STILL kicking harder than Waluigi in a fit of rage. ๐ŸŸฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ Today we fire up the legendary Nintendo GameCube and play this chaotic, electrified classic like it’s 2005 all over again.

Is this the most unhinged football game ever made? Possibly. Is it still fun enough to make your controller sweat? Absolutely. From slide-tackling Toad to screaming "WHY?!" at Bowser’s late-game interference - this is arcade sports madness at its peak.

Whether you're here for nostalgia, chaos, or just wondering how Peach became a midfield menace, you're in the right place. Let’s give this retro gem the love it deserves. ๐Ÿ’š

Ajax

๐Ÿš New Arcade Drop on MiSTer FPGA! Meet AJAX - The Konami Classic That Hits Hard ๐Ÿšจ

Strap into the cockpit (literally) because Jotego just dropped another arcade banger onto the MiSTer FPGA, and this time it’s Ajax, Konami’s 1987 twin-stick shooter that makes modern bullet hells look like warm-up laps. ๐Ÿ•น️

Known in Japan as Typhoon, Ajax is a vertically scrolling shoot-’em-up that lets you pilot a futuristic helicopter/jet hybrid across war-torn landscapes, blasting tanks, ships, and sci-fi bosses into 16-bit oblivion. This isn’t just another arcade port-it’s a faithful FPGA recreation of an underrated classic that finally gets its day in the (pixelated) sun thanks to Jotego’s wizardry. ✨

๐Ÿ”ฅ Why Ajax on MiSTer is a BIG deal:

First-time accurate home port of Ajax (1987) by Konami
Uses FPGA hardware-level emulation for 100% authentic gameplay
Incredible stereo sound, sprite scaling, and those juicy explosions ๐Ÿ’ฅ
Another high-score obsession added to your MiSTer arcade roster ๐ŸŽฏ

Whether you're a retro head with a passion for classic Konami shooters, or new to the MiSTer FPGA scene and wondering what the hype’s about-this is one game you need to try. Just don’t expect it to go easy on you... ๐Ÿงจ

๐Ÿง  Fun Fact: Ajax features two gameplay modes-helicopter levels with bombs and bullets, and jet fighter stages with lock-on missiles. It was next-level for ‘87. Still is.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Let me know in the comments: Did Ajax blow your mind or just blow you up?
