That would be project #2. ;-) (I'm going to look at porting the
Asteroids code to Tempest hardware. I actually think it should work
without too much hassle as long as there isn't anything horribly sneaky
for how they deal with DVG memory. Should be interesting. I might use
Deluxe instead 'cause it uses POKEY for most sounds which is an easier
port for Tempest...)

This is actually something I've been writing for the last week or so.
Kinda-of a "getting to know you" project with the Tempest hardware.
(I've found that it's best if I write a fully functional but relatively
"simple" game for some new hardware before I try the "real" project on
it. Let's me find the "gotchas" before getting too far into something.)
