Now that's an idea. The trick would be to get the 2600 to accept lines of
text on the fly from an external source and feed it in through the joystick
ports somehow. Then you can store your entire transcript on the PC or
something.
BTW, I'm pretty sure an Atari 8-bit or Amiga can also be told to draw above
and below standard video, but certainly doing it with the 2600 would be cooler.
Also, you do know that you need to feed the 2600 through a TBC in order to
introduce interlace into the signal, right? There are issues with sprite
flicker when you do this, but I don't think that would be a problem with
playfield.
