I think that would be too easy. ;-) I don't have my boardsets yet so I
can't say for sure, but it sounds like the RAM is on the CPU. I'm
hoping that it's just data and not executable space... Anybody that
wants to try to crack this thing, feel free to join in, though not on
Vectorlist. (It's Doug Jeffrys' and I right now...)

Hey Al-- any interest in a game-hacker mailing list? There's lots to be
done (Super Missile Attack, The Glob, Buster Bros. etc.)

It's a raster game-- maybe 1990 or so. Two players simultaneous if you
like. You have a little "dude" that can shoot these giant bubbles. The
bubbles break into two smaller pieces ('ala Asteroids) each time they're
shot. It's tough to describe. Kinda half puzzle-game, half arcade
game. Good fun, IMHO.
