I think his game kinda wound up in the same boat I did with INV - he got a
ways into it out of curiosity about 2600 programming, and then got bored
with it when the coding got more tedious than fun, and the code got harder
and harder to keep a handle on.  I'd bet that he does have a ROM in
prototype/beta form, though not a finished game.
