Bitman

Page history last edited by SW 3 years, 11 months ago

8-Bitman, or Bitman, for short, was created by Adrian(AJ) in Applesoft BASIC low-res graphics mode, and was the winner of Hackfest at Kansasfest 2019.

(AJ used the Applesoft sampler disk, to run the program, boot the disk, choose option #4, then "RUN BITMAN" after the catalog listing finishes.)

Enjoy the following photos and fun facts about Bitman, the superhero of Kansasfest!
