   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.
