Four new MEGA65 titles landed on the /games/mega65 shelf:
- Omega Race — MEGA65 conversion of the 1981 Midway vector-graphics arcade shooter. Pilot a spaceship around an arena, dodge mines, chase droids.
- Meteor Defense — homebrew shooter with escalating fuel-management mechanics that tighten per level reached.
- Escape WP — BASIC text adventure. Navigate the map, work out how to get out.
- Monkey Island Music Demo — audio showcase playing the Secret of Monkey Island soundtrack on MEGA65 hardware.
Catalog now at 7 titles. All four launch via the standard shelf flow — click the cart, xemu auto-mounts the disk on drive 8, then -autoload runs the first program. If any title's disk has a custom loader that crashes autoload, use the boot without auto-load link under the canvas and type the game's documented LOAD command.
Heavy titles will feel sluggish because MEGA65 emulation runs single-threaded through xemu's WebAssembly build — the Performance mode button under the canvas drops audio mixing + OPL3 to free CPU cycles, usually enough to make lighter games feel snappy. Graphics-intensive demos and heavier games are at the WASM ceiling; native xemu or real hardware is the only real fix.
