馃嚝馃嚪 Thomson MO6: Part 3 (2024 Game: Evil Dungeons II) [TCE #0539]
23Now that I have an SDDRIVE working, let's try out a brand new game released a few days ago celebrating 40 years since the Thomson MO5 was originally launched ... Evil Dungeons II.

Going to try it out on my MO6 rather than MO5 as the keyboard is nicer. It can be played on emulator as well - this is maybe a little superior as you can probably save a snapshot of your game if you need to have a break.
Video was captured on my Mac using Quicktime: SCART RGB to my Sony RDR-HX900 HDD/DVD recorder, then Component (Y/Pr/Pb) to HDMI, then HDMI to USB on my Mac.
Where the Thomson MO5 has 48KByte of RAM, a rubber keyboard, no joystick ports and no built-in Data Recorder, the MO6 has 128KByte of RAM, nice mechanical keyboard, built-in Atari joystick ports and a built-in Data Recorder (LEP).
I quite enjoyed it - will definitely be playing more of it.
