Or if they have a cassette deck, or even better, a CD-Burner. I think we'll
be seeing more Supercharger material come out than carts.
Maybe Bob or someone else who's released a game on cart, can share with us
the process and cost they encoured.
CD would be nice because you could always include a CD-ROM portion and
fill it with all sorts of interesting stuff, but cassette tape is easily
produced by anyone.

Agreed here! 4-player Warlords is a definet hit at any party. It's fun, fun,
fun! There's something about competition on a wider scale that makes a 4
player game so exciting. Maybe we could have some sort of 4 player
"Pole Position" or other racing game, although that might be really taxing
the resources of the 2600.
Something else I'd like to see would be more games that use the driving
controllers and the light gun.
Infact, just modifying existing games to use those controllers would be
a great step in the right direction. I think the next game I do a mod to will
be Gangster Alley to make it use the lightgun. Modifying the driving games
to use the driving controller would be a nice mod too.

(Fastest light gun in the west from hell!!)
