I can see the book now, "Real 2600 Programmers use EPROM development systems"
By the author of "My Joystick is Bigger than Yours!" ;)

Exactly... this list is very "Bonehead Friendly". ;)
When I was working on the V-pet, I pulled some even bigger boners which
caused me no end of grief until I saw what I'd done wrong
(stupid things like storing to REFP1 instead of RESP1, and with a
symetrical sprite too so there was no visual clue other than the fact that
my sprite wasn't going where I wanted it to). I was thinking many times
"boy, I'm glad the guys on the list arn't here to see me do THIS".
I also discovered that a real 2600 is much more picky about where you put
the HMOVE command than the Emulator is.
CRACKERS
