Hey, here's a neat piece of trivia:

If you look closely at the shuttle on William's "Space Shuttle" game,
you will see that its labelled 'Defender' (Williams first and still most
successful video game).

In that line, does anyone know where I can my hands on a video game with
good graphics, and is 6502 based?

I was tempted to get a Defende (6809 based with really good graphics), but
after talking with the game's creator, it seemed like the machine was really
hacked together and would a pain to play with.

My ultimate goal is to reprogram these suckers, by doing the devellopment
on an Apple II and filling upROMS with the code.

I am not above writing a 6502-6809 cross assembler and 6809-6502 cross
disassmbler.
