Now that's a scary prospect.

Afraid I had to look up "brill", but only got the definition I already
knew, "a European flatfish". Is that good or bad? :^) If it's bad (as I
suspect, though I'm still too naive a programmer to know why), you might as
well continue leaving the "e" out of "Bailey" so no one knows for sure it
was really me!
I'd actually hoped to do a whole series on collisions (with joystick input)
as a sort of parallel to Nick's Playfield demo for newbies (like myself) to
have pretty easy to hack code to make games. First was this with P0 and
PF, next was to be P0, P1 and M0, M1 (which was getting surprisingly close
to Combat). Oh well. Full-time jobs and all that.
Cute .bin overall, but did you have to give Matt the opening credits? He's
already rubbed that in on one occasion. And when do we get the cart?! (jk
-- I saw that you said this was a slapdash hack barely tested on
z26. Still, would be my first code on EPROM...)
