Definitely!  I'd love to do a micro-emacs port to the 2600 with some kind
of NVRAM cart.  Sure it can only do 12 columns of text, maybe 16 if you
don't align letters with players, but wouldn't it be cool?

Next up would be a WAP client with a hacked CVC modem ;)  Or how about a
nice 96x96 VNC viewer using the Starpath Asteroids knockoff method.

Well, that's 64x64 but you get the idea.  Definitely one for the hardware
hackers, not me.

I actually meant to make a 40x200 slideshow generator once using playfield
graphics (that'd be about 1k per screen, you could fit it in 1 page at
40x50 though, in case anyone wants to do a massively bankswitched Myst
clone....) but decided even I have limits on how wasteful I can be with my
weekends.
