MF100 - HACK THE JAM (old console emulator) by egordorichev


Big thanks to @vitogaming for his great help with this project
"You thought, you made a game, and end the LD? You are wrong. Now you are going to write a game for me and hack the ludum dare site! Muha ha ha!"
This is a emulator of old console, inspired by pico8. The game goal is to hack the ludum dare server, sitting in a small room, where you have only one tool - your very old pc.
By the way, did you know, that you can write a real game in this emulator?! Try it, that is insane! See the guide below.

A very cool project guys and it's also comedy gold!
Windows 7/x64, Java version's admittedly a bit old. (Can grab it if you need it.)
UPDATE: This worked on my Windows 10 laptop... might have been a font issue.

That said, this is very creative and weird. I really dig the aesthetic, even if I wasn't really able to use it.
My Windows 7 desktop had the issue above, but my windows 10 laptop didn't. I'm wondering if perhaps it's an issue with a missing font. At any rate, not an issue for me anymore! Thanks for a fun game.
Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
