PETSCII Robots on TheC64 Maxi or Mini with a SNES Controller - CubicleNate’s Techpad
I make it a point to buy new software for old computers at least annually. On particular game that I rather enjoy is called “PETSCII Robots” by The 8-Bit Guy, David Murry.

I very much enjoyed my experience on the actual hardware but I wanted to play this new game on a TheC64 with a SNES style controller. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as straight forward as one might think.
