The language wouldn't be run on the 2600 - it would be on a
"real computer" ;) that would pump out 6507 code that
would be the game. I think it'd be quite easy to write a
generic kernal that would handle the 2 players, 2 missiles
and 1 ball, and allow a simple background - then you'd have
to create the game logic that could run outside of the display -
it's certainly possible, the only problem is that all the games
would tend to look the same, like games made with Game Maker,
or the Shoot-em Up Construction Kit (SEUCK).
An interesting project tho - I'll think more about it,
possibly be a part of my C64->A2600 package. BTW, it's
available for download on my web page now - check it out! :)
