Dear Listers and Staz,

This is a big one I've been working on for quite some time and now I'm
ready to announce a new open source application written in FutureBasic3!

Introducing Crazy-8, the world's first Futurebasic CHIP8 emulator, and the
second emulator ever written in FB.

Crazy-8 is a lightning fast emulator that can run any CHIP8 game ever
known, and runs an awful lot of Super CHIP8 games too.

What is the CHIP8?  Its an old virtual machine like Java that ran on TI
calculators and some old platforms.  It is slightly less powerful than an
atari 2600.

You can see screenshots, download games and read more about Crazy-8 at:

Feel free to give me feedback, play around with the source, and find more
games on the net :-)

Enjoy!!

-Derek
