Yes, since SpaceWar! 7800 is playable, I've been thinking about going back
to Gold Digger / Leprechaun.  Plus I realized that Kirk or Christopher
Tumber could probably make a JavaScript level editor so everyone could
create levels.  (I remember creating a couple Lode Runner levels on the
Apple ][ back in the days; fun!)

I've just got this one 7800 demo that I want to finish first....
