Lee,
I just spent a few minutes playing--at this rate of development, I have
a feeling the game is going to be finished when I wake up in the
morning!! :)

Real quick, I doubled the vertical resolution of the controller icons

Very nice!
I originally opted for the steering wheel icon because the grand prix
icon
that's on the actual controller was difficult to replicate in an 8x8
grid.
Now that it's 8x16, it might make more sense to do that. What do you
think?
If you can do the same icon that's on the driving controllers that
might look good, but the steering wheel works well also.
Two comments:
1) Sometimes the ball is unbearably slow. When this happened, I opted
to simply lose the ball to get a faster one the next time out. :)
2) I managed once to hit the ball against the edge of the paddle (when
the paddle was horizontal), and it got "stuck" until I moved the paddle
again (it was vibrating madly).
3) I love Breakout-style games and have professed my desire to program
an Arkanoid game someday for the 2600. I would not be adverse if
someone else did it. :) :)
