O.K. I just released a new version (0.90) of z26
(http://www.whimsey.com/z26.html) that supports mid-line collisions. This
should fix the "killer pearls". I also added support for multiple missiles.
Oddly enough, this also fixed Missile Command :-) Let me know if you find
anything else. One thing I still don't understand though, do you know what
causes the first 8 columns of some of the lines to be shown as black on a
real Atari? This shows up on the lines with the multiple missiles, but why?
