You can change the colors and the flashing light. You can also play songs - enter the Konami code on the title screen to unlock Trick Or Treat.

That is really cool program. Thanks for posting. Would you mind if I brought it down to a "popular video game distribution store" and showed if off for a few days around Halloween?

It is pretty cool, I like the music. I wonder if the color flickering could look more like a candle if the delay was based on an LFSR (pseudo-random number generator).

Cool guys thanks a lot. Please do whatever you like. I’ve been meaning to try out random numbers in assembly just haven’t got that far yet.

Just have a long table of "random numbers" that loops. That's at least better than nothing. I haven't actually seen your demo in action yet so I don't know how "bad" it looks originally though.

Just sayin: the District Manager loves this, the Store Manager loves this, the Mangers love this, the employees love this, the adults love this and the little kids who grab some candy in front of this are all wondering what the heck a Nintendo is ha! So many customers are really excited for classic gaming again.

The senior citizens and teenagers hate this though.
