Why don't you just do an attract mode of some kind ala Tetris?

If you add trackball support you'll have reading difficulties as discussed 
in an earlier thread, since even the Atari trackballs are higher resolution 
than the driving controller, and therefore must be sampled more often.

Not that paddle reads aren't processor intensive, of course...

What might be possible is an analog joystick controller adapter, maybe a 
5200 --> 2600 adapter?  Maybe Junie could do it?

That would certainly be a first!
