How about a bit of Unreal II by Purple Motion on the Acorn Electron? (albeit with no volume control, limited frequency range, no noise channel and only a single tone channel)

Flappy Bird for Acorn Electron WIP. Sneak peek at the new backdrop and the bird itself. I managed to create enough space for a second screen buffer, which will be the next step

I can now throw any CHIP-8 or S-CHIP game at my emulator (running on the Acorn Electron) without problems. I added a menu that allows me to quickly switch between games on the disk

A classic BBC Micro track originally coded in BASIC - Addicts' Anthem by Daniel Pugh. There always seemed to be a very slight pause between pattern transitions, so I've taken the music data and re-implemented in 6502 assembler (Hence the strange playback rate).

Revisiting another #C64 #SID conversion to the #SN76489. I loved playing Last Ninja 2 on the Acorn Electron and #BBCMicro... but lacked any music.
Here's a conversion of Central Park Loader by Matt Gray. Can't reproduce all the SID character, but the SN76489 is giving it a go.

Sideways RAM support for the BBC Micro LZSS Music Player is in - will use as many banks as you have available to fit the track into memory, but few need more than 4.
Here's a classic C64 conversion running in the player - Cybernoid by Jeroen Tel
