Old Mine Hoist available for the MEGA65

The MEGA65 is a modern, powerful 8-bit computer, for which I've previously created a game called Wave Hero 65 (a conversion of Wave Hero.)

I've now also created a version of «Old Mine Hoist» for this system. Some parts of the code from the original C64 game have been reused directly, while other parts have been adjusted to take advantage of new instructions and addressing modes supported by the MEGA65's microprocessor.

While this small game certainly doesn't push the limits of the powerful MEGA65 hardware, it does make use of the following features:

• Full-Color Text Mode (FCM)
• DMA for memory copy and fill operations (e.g. scrolling the screen)
• 45GS02 CPU instructions

The game has been tested on a Nexys A7 FPGA board with the latest stable MEGA65 bitstream, and in recent versions of the Xemu emulator.
