Re: Deluxe clock

I've used 12mhz xtals on battlezone/asteroids/asteroids deluxe with no
problems for quite a while.. the 12.096mhz xtals are close to
unobtainable... 12mhz seems to do the same job, purists would say the game
runs slower, but can you notice a .096mhz difference in a game?

hehe

enjoy!
