Also, Oystron, though being a double-scanline-game, only has TWO strings:
1. Own player
2. Asteroids and other enemies, crystals and the players shots
In Oystron, one shot is the ball, and the other is a missile. This explains
why one is always white, and the other is color-striped: the "missile" shot
gets the colors from the player used to display the enemies in the same
group of scanlines. That would have been an ugly effect for most objects,
but it is acceptable (if not a nice touch) for a shot. IMHO these
compromises are part of the beauty of the 2600 :-)
