Inspired by @JeffreyvanderSchilden's experimentation with C64 Thrust on his M65, I thought I'd give it a try as well. Not terribly successfully on this first attempt - the C64 version seems "harder" than the Amstrad one I was used to ... ?

C65 ROM version: 920377
M65 core: 0.95
C64 core: WIPv4-RC2

We had an Amstrad CPC464 with green screen growing up and Thrust is one of my all-time favourite games ... I believe it was a £1.99 game which translated to $10 here in Australia back in the 80s ... so a bargain.

I also remember it because it had loading music for the tape version - pretty cool for the Amstrad at the time, I believe.

It's going to take my brain a little while to get used to co-ordinating my fingers again, and getting a feel for the gravity/thrust:

[A] = left turn
[S] = right turn
[SHIFT] = thrust
[RETURN] = fire
[SPACE] = shield/tractor beam
