Coppers latest release is a single game arcade emulator for the classic “Bombjack”. It supports two different versions of the game.

As usual the commercial roms DO NOT come with the emulator and we do not know where to find those.

Zilog released a remake of the C16 game Squirm!

Navigate around the maze, avoiding the Squirms and eating 200 eggs laid by the queen Squirm. If a Squirm gets you then you must start over with the egg collecting.

Release notes:

This is the first version so many things are missing like menus, extra levels, sound, helpful messages when you die, actually being able to complete the level, etc. but all these and more will be addressed in due course!
