Our local Dragon Gaming Developer and Anbernic Handhelds Aficionado, @pyral.dinoleaf.com, managed to pull some impressive wizardry with a handheld Portmaster version of Zniw Adventure! 🦕
And it works with the data files from your Steam/GOG full version too!

Finally made a video form of some 101 for gamedev on Anbernic, TrimUI, G350/R36S, whatever with Portmaster for gluing the mess together. $400+ for hot new game console or $100 for your own dev kit handheld.

Also, buy Crop and Claw.

Crop and Claw v1.2 just suddenly came out of nowhere. A few visual and play tweaks. Most notably, it as a randomizer now!

As we go from Year of the Wood #Dragons to Snake, here's the first #writing of a few serials, between Crop and Claw and its in-development sequel. Playing CnC shouldn't be required to understand it or have fun. Monthly releases are coming.

I took a short whatever to see if I could get CnC1 to run okay on the RPi. It runs okay (but slowish) on the Pi 400 and fine on 5. Blackbars or raw are unplayably slow. GLES since Vulkan defaults refused to boot.

Only on itch since Steam lacks ARM64 support.
