We kick off this week's Fun section with an Apple classic as well. Tyler Barnes was looking for a challenge, and decided to try to develop a piece of working NES software on an Apple ][.
Not far-fetched in principle, since both machines use a derivate of the same CPU. But basically not necessary, because assemblers can spit out machine code of other processor architectures without any problems. The challenge was primarily to use a device for the NES programming, which was available at that time.
If you're up for this little digital adventure, check out the video. (Pro Tip: For the patient there is a reunion with Hello Kitty 🙀)
