The full story

The Blocky Dad, who covers retro homebrew, plays an AI-assisted port of Moon Cresta, the 1980 arcade shooter, for the Atari XL/XE computers. He calls it a surprisingly impressive port, played on an original Atari 800XL, and the video weighs whether AI is a homebrew gold rush or a disruption for the community.

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
