Entry 28th October 2026: Post 1: BeebEm Emulator - Arkanoid on the BBC Micro.
BeebEm Emulator - Arkanoid on the BBC Micro.
Having played Megaball On the Amiga I thought I would give Arkanoid
a run out on the BBC. To do this I used the BeebEm emulator as
first developed for UNIX by Dave Gilbert. The latest version is held
in the repository at Codeberg under the guiding hand of Chris Needham.
For the Arkanoid game ROM and all other downloads visit Stairwaytohell
dot com. Kinda your one stop shop for everything BBC. I was also
after River Raid but only could find 'S Wing' and 'Eagle Wing' which
from the screenshot are no River Raid.
Anyhoo I am all 'Breaked-Out' now and have moved on to Tomb Raider IV
on the PS5 which turns out to be a far more challenging task.
