Ever wondered what happens when a Commodore 64 thinks it’s hooked up to the internet? Well, you get Ad Popper—a wild ride into a retro desktop battling an onslaught of pop-ups, fake clickbait, and old-school malware (probably). It’s the ultimate 8-bit fight against digital doom!

In this video, we dive into a bizarre yet brilliant C64 experience where a desktop simulation is overrun by intrusive adverts. You’ll see classic pixelated UI, nostalgic text interfaces, and the chaos of an old machine struggling against the modern problem of never-ending internet junk.

But wait—there’s more! Can the Commodore 64 handle this madness? Or will the poor machine buckle under the weight of its fake Wi-Fi dreams? I’ll be running Ad Popper on real hardware AND on a MiSTer FPGA, bringing this retro battle to the modern age.

If you love retro gaming, homebrew projects, Commodore 64 experiments, and just a bit of hilarious tech chaos, then you’re in the right place! Watch as we click, close, and fight our way through the digital mayhem.

⚡ Hit play, grab some popcorn, and prepare for some serious (yet low-res) action!
