That would be sweet but I don't think it's
implementable with a full-width asymmetrical
playfield. Reason being cause I'd need at least one
completely free scanline to reset the player graphic
to a new horizontal position, which I don't really
have (due to the playfield writes).
I was thinking I'd just do 30Hz flicker if I decided
to implement a 4 player mode. I'm gonna have to use
30Hz flicker anyway when a shot is fired because the
kernel is so tight...
