Part 5 of the Amiga Format Menace series. Let's take a look at the graphics glitches that appear when running on the Amiga 1200
Source code for this video: github.com/davepoo/Menace-Amiga-Format
The 1988 Amiga game 'Menace' that was published in Amiga Format in 1990, this repo contains source code and changes that were made for the YouTube video series about it on youtube.com/@DavePoo2
The plan is to upgrade this source to assemble and work for a more modern Amiga (source was written during the A1000/500 era of the Amiga)
