Yep, that's the plan! I'll spare the list the full speal, but I posted
on RGVAC what I'm up to.

The idea is a $99-150 kit (depending on features and quantities that I
build). Probably closer to the low end of that range, but I hedge on
the price until I know how many boards I'm doing and what the cost is.
In a nutshell the goal is all ROM versions of Asteroids, Deluxe, and
LunarLander on one plug-in board with a software menu system. SRAM
highscore saves for Ast and Deluxe, POKEY chip for Deluxe Sound, A/D
converter for thrust controller for LL.

In a nutshell I think the answer is "yes". I have a NOS thrust
controller from Atari, but never ran across a Lunar Lander board-- so
I'm doing this for my own selfish reasons too. ;-)

Yup. I've got about 5 built up now.
