LOL! Can't you include something like, "If you have some of these
horrendous Pac-Man carts, and feel they need a new home, send them to 2001
x 2001 at the following address..."
Meeting that guy would be pretty interesting (and is almost enough to make
me think about going to LV). Is he favorable to the tongue-in-cheek
description of Pac-Man? I actually think it's a nice game if you speed it
up a little. Certainly a different game than the original from which the
Atari version was loosely adpated. If 2600 Pac-Man were a clone, it'd be
hard to make a case for copyright infringement. ;^D
Anybody given any thought to making a 2600 version of Food Fight? Just
hooked up the 7800 to the tube, and I'm addicted all over again...
