Playing Andrew Braybrook's oft-overlooked (unfairly, to my mind) classic, Alleykat.
Been holding off on doing this one for a while as, even though I played it LOAD as a kid, I was kind of hoping I'd one day be able to play it on a Commodore 128. And, incredibly, today is that day (well, when I filmed it it was, anyway. You know what I mean) as I now have, almost unbelievably, a Commodore 128 in my collection! Never thought I'd ever get one to be honest as I'd never even SEEN one in real life before I got this, and whenever I'd seen them on ebay they go for SILLY money. But this was an absolute bargain that I couldn't pass up and luckily I still had the money I'd saved from my birthday and Christmas to hand. Pretty much wiped out now after getting this (and a few other systems, amazingly) but hey, it was worth it as I can finally experience the fabled extra-long Katerkillers the instructions told me about all those years ago. I mean, that's almost a bucket list thing for me :)

Some people have said I should set up a tip jar, to help with cost of repairs and the like. As I can't really offer anything other than thanks I don't feel Patreon is particularly suitable, so I've set up this - https://ko-fi.com/gigerpunk
Absolutely no obligation, I'm not doing any content just for people who pay and not doing adverts of any kind, it's just there for those who'd like to help out occasionally (in this case, to get an Atari 400 up and running properly so I can cover Atari 8-bit games, having blown all my available funds on cat bills and a C128;)
