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 :-)
What is it that causes the slight shift up one scanline of the shots as
they track from left to right? It's something I've noticed and I'm not
sure if it's an optical illusion or what.
