We take a look at the NEC V20 CPU and how it had faster instruction timings than Intel CPUs, could emulate the Intel 8080 CPU and how it had additional instructions not in the Intel instruction set.

We also look at an early version of Microsoft BASIC, we emulate the 8080, take a look at my EGA card collection and try to get to the bottom of some corruption in EGA games.
