At last weekend's International Retro Computer Expo (aka "BoatFest") I did a LIVE version of Sprite Castle in which I covered Rogue followed by several Roguelikes for both the Commodore 64 and other 8bit-and-16bit systems. Thanks to everyone who came to watch the show and I hope you enjoy this live edition of Sprite Castle!
