    Da> Indeed. Makes me wonder how those games would run written in assembly.   
      
   As fast as they were running in Interpreted BASIC...I would expect they would   
   be way too fast to play. Look fantastic...but ASM would probably make them   
   unplayable.

   I agree. Just had a thought that if someone got one of these...got some of   
   the old BBS's written in BASIC & set it up for this box. For that   
   matter...you could get Ahl's books online as PDF's. Setup stuff like this on   
   the system.
