Yeah, ST is turning out to be a very cool game :)

SCSIcide uses a 6 digit score routine (modified for hexadecimal) with the 
first byte (2 digits) being the level and the last 2 bytes (4 digits) being 
the score, which is based missed data bits, incorrectly read data bits, and 
properly read data bits. It was really very simple. My source code is 
available at  http://www.pixelspast.com/games/scsicide/scsi131.s.txt and I 
think also in the Stella archives..
