Painter Man - brand new 2025 running on the ZX Spectrum using a MiSTer FPGA with commentary
7Hold onto your cassette tapes - Painter Man is back and brand new in 2025, running on the legendary ZX Spectrum, thanks to the magic of the MiSTer FPGA! That’s right, we’re taking this retro classic into the future with an eye-popping, pixel-perfect revival that’ll make your rubber-keyed Speccy weep tears of 8-bit joy.
In this video, I dive into the latest version of Painter Man, running seamlessly on MiSTer FPGA hardware - no loading noises, but all the retro vibes. Whether you're a fan of classic 8-bit gaming, love the ZX Spectrum's quirky charm, or you're a MiSTer FPGA enthusiast, this one's for you. I’ll be sharing gameplay, commentary, and my reactions as we explore what’s new, what’s familiar, and what’s just plain weird about this modern take on a vintage favourite.
Expect vibrant commentary, nostalgic throwbacks, and just enough snark to make a Speccy grin. Is this the comeback Painter Man deserved? Will I fall into the same trap 10 times in a row? Tune in to find out.
Whether you're a retro gaming veteran, an FPGA tinkerer, or someone who just loves seeing old games made new again, this is a must-watch. Oh, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if your soul has ever been touched by a loading screen that takes five minutes and sounds like a dial-up modem being electrocuted.
Let’s paint the screen red—one pixel at a time.
