I'm waiting for this. Super Breakout and Fireball are good, but Arkanoid
should be totally doable on the 2600 and really should be attempted.

I was really disappointed by how few home ports this got.

What's that game?
Ultimately the most enjoyable 2600 games from today's perspective are the
originals. If you do attempt a port, the best way to do it is to deviate
from the original to enhance it or optimize it for the quirky VCS
environment (in a good way, like Yar's Revenge as a Star Castle clone vs.
Pac Man's compromises). At that point the game gains its own unique
character.
