And being the Commodore advocate that I am, the two C64 based consoles supported the light pen. One was the pretty much non-existant (but still mentioned in the C64 Programmer's Reference Guide) Ultramax, the other was the C64GS which was released in England around 1990. I'm becoming a lot more comfortable with programming the 2600 now - I've got a square sprite moving over a playfield under joystick control now. And my C64 playbin program is working really well now, just going to start working on the docs for it - perhaps I'll work on a bit of a 2600 tutorial, not that I'm an expert :) -- Robin Harbron <robinh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tbaytel.net/macbeth -- Archives updated once/day at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsubscribing and other info at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
