If you wouldn't want to play it, why write it? :) Remember, writing
stuff that sucks to play just cause it's suited for the hardware is what
killed the Saturn and is crippling the N64. Write something that we all
want to play.. I'm sure there's a better proof-of-concept thing for the
six-digit sprite than a slot machine.
