I agree with the message! I do not agree with the choice of colors ... ;-)

No, really, I think this one is underrated. It seems unassuming, but it demos DMODE quite well. And after several recolorings, the "MEGA"-lettering finally arrives at the exact four color bars shown on the computer's badge, and in the correct order! I like that, it's subtle, and it's difficult to spot, because of the program ending a little too soon.

I think you were really creative here, and this is one of the big aspects of the MEGA 65 in my opinion: That it's easy to be creative with it, and you prove it . Thank you for that! :-)

On another note: There is something strange going on with the circles. Shouldn't they be symmetric? Is there a bug in the CIRCLE-command?

He's using CIRCLE 220-I, 145-I  (Line 100), i.e. adjusting the center position.
CIRCLE definitively works fine, I'm using it in MEGABomb for explosions, and they grow centered as intended.

Oh, sorry, I meant something else: Look at the left side and the right side of each circle. The right side looks a little more pointy, doesn't it? It's not the same as on the left. MEGABomb shows the same problem, just smaller, due to the resolution. It's just about few pixels.

There is also a difference between ROM-versions, with 920413 being particularly spiky, not circle-like at all. I'll test this some more later, and maybe open a bug report. Thanks for pointing at MEGABomb as second test case, I didn't notice it there :-)

Thank you so much for the kind words!

That was very observant of you, glad you noticed 😸

I hadn't seen any asymmetries with the CIRCLE command but I will take a closer look next time I am in front of the MEGA65! Thanks for reporting it as bug :)
