Thanks, leebert. And the antiquated hardware should only help its awesome-to-circuit ratio.

Thank you, everyone, for the positive comments all around. This one's my personal favorite. Of the three, it feels the most legitimate, mainly because I have a strong nostalgic connection to the roots of personal computing and gaming. I like to, as they say, kick it old school.

That's a lot of painstaking effort right there. Now I almost want an 8 bit retro version of LBP to play.

Thelbane says:

It wasn't really that bad. Actually, I wouldn't say it was painful at all. When I was a kid, I pushed pixels on the Apple II using an Applesoft program I had written, which was very time-consuming and painful. This time around, with the aid of a program called Blazing Paddles, I was able to turn this around in just a couple hours.

As for an 8-bit retro version of the game, don't think I haven't thought about it. :)
