I'll bet you wouldn't, that's the beauty of vector systems, you would only
need to share of few position bytes.

The complexity of the play field, and the number of options a player is
allowed differ vastly between Eliminator and Mortak Kombat 4!

Would do you need to know? Where everyone is, where everyone's bullets are,
and where the Bagel of Death is. Someone should be able to encode this in
very few bytes (Hey don't look at me! I work for a living, and they don't
understand this arcade thing!)

But if someone's going through that kind of trouble, wouldn't it be cooler
to write it for a PC vector library instead of the G-08 system? Hey, I'd
buy a copy!
