Don't let that stop you. I felt the same about Climber 5 but I had to keep reminding myself why I was doing it...for my son and a personal accomplishment.

Hey, another [stella] member with my life except I'll have 4 children soon :-)

Definitely!

To that I'd say bring it to the list anyway. [stella] can help in a lot of areas. Don't worry about the sophistication of a project. IMO if it's for the 2600, it's all good. As for the pace...well...[stella] is a good archiver too. You never know when that hard drive will go bad.
I'd encourage any and all [stella] members to post their projects. You will get great feedback on game play that will enhance the game/project. Use Climber 5 as an example. The feedback and suggestions I got were wonderful! I feel it took the game over the top.
Qb is a good example too. Andrew had a great game and when he'd post to [stella] great suggestions game forth. I remember when it was real easy to get an extra life in Qb. After some suggestions now it's not as easy and it made a great game.
Just my 2 cents :-)
Take care,
Dennis
