Glitch World In Commodore 64 Ninja

We take a look at Mastertronic's Ninja for the Commodore 64 which has a "glitch world" much more interesting than Super Mario Bros' famous "Minus World". First we show how to enter Glitch World without any hacking, and then we use the Super Snapshot machine language monitor to dig deeper into the game's level data structures. Thanks to my patron Paul Pridham (aka Madgarden, developer of Death Road to Canada) for this suggestion!
