(Raster... An unreleased Atari game by GCC running on a relative of
Foodfight hardware. I have the two prototypes. One of these days I'm going
to get the daughterboards packed down to FPGA's and bring it out as a kit
for Foodfight PCB's.)

My Cinemat->WG adapter is descendant of the Space Fortress convertor. I
used DAC312's (AM6012's) with LF353's and DG211's so I didn't need all the
transistorized level convertor stuff. I'll finish it up whenever the
Cinemat multigame is ready...

I was working on that and then I found a cool Oki sound chip that allowed
8-channel PCM playback from external ROMs. (Instant multi-sound board!)
However, they're only supporting existing customers on the chip, so I'm
waiting for the replacement to come out.

discovered "VNV Nation". :-)
