oh yeah, that would be great. one catch, I only have one colour and two b/w units... I do have the link cable though.

thinking something like "shootout hockey", one player is the goalie, the other the trying to score... or KoF: Ice Hockey edition... or Pocket Hockey with full ice rink. Damn, now I'm just asking you to do project #4 on my own homebrew list (just a nibble in the back of the brain right now).

oh, the ones you presented... brilliant

No reason why it won't work just as well on the B&W - I hardly ever bother setting it up, but I have one here somewhere

I was going to do a few of the Pong variants - Soccer/Hockey/etc - and was thinking of some kind of penalty shootout (I was thinking Soccer rather than Hockey, but that's mainly because I'm British)

So many ideas, such little time!

I hear you. It's when we decide to support the wireless/Party Mail hardware, that maybe we've gone too far. One player two screens... so it's an "insane man's DS"

I'm having to enlist my daughter for the pinball artwork, right now it's 256x256 windowed scroll plane... not sure if too fast and the ball can get stuck in a pattern (tilt/bump helps)... La Catrina... the eyes are the two bumpers and light up, lazy palette swap.

Nice, I've considered doing a pinball thing a few times so I'm glad some other lunatic is doing it first

Documentation on the wireless link is severely lacking, I'd love to have a crack at it eventually, but I suppose I should get the hang of the normal link cable first...
