Harder than it sounds. The problem is that to scroll horizontally, you need to shift/rotate the playfield data. There isn't enough time during a kernel to do that, and there isn't enough RAM to store the results of the shifting outside the kernel. You'd more or less need a separate copy of the maze in ROM for each horizontal scrolling position. There's rather a reason that so few games do horizontal playfield scrolling on the 2600. Vertical-only scrolling is quite easy, though. - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
