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.
