While the outstanding C64U got a lot of attention this past year - and rightly so, it is a great system - the X16 also continues to thrive (despite also having some setbacks on the GS development, but that's another story!).

I felt like we hadn't given these talented developers the recognition they really deserved, so I wanted to highlight at least a few of the works. The X16 is familiar in some ways, but radically new in others -- and folks are learning the system!

Everything presented here is running on stock X16 hardware at 8MHz using ROM R49, and the software are all using their own audio output.
