Lots of great work there, I'm hoping to have something special done by next year. Going to have a lot of time coming up to finish my projects, so it should be decent. Seeing King Kong makes me think it's quite possible, too. I'm assuming this was done using the original source code from the Atari 2600 version?

In most cases it's easier to start with what you want achieve and code up to that, rather than trying to port old assembly code. More so for the prehistoric era like 2600, which worked totally differently.

I wish I had some time to knock up an entry this year. :( Not that I'd win against the other entries, but it's still great fun. :)
I have a few music tracks I was going to enter, but I can't them in to proper VGM format (or something - they won't work on other VGM players, apparently). Plus, I had another "live" track I wanted to record, but I've broken my recording software so that went out of the window.
The world was conspiring against me this year, it seems. Maybe next time. :)

Cool, yeah, so I've been told Maxim. I'm only using it for reference, however, not a straight port. I'm also looking at the original arcade code to compare and maximize my output.

Doing anything will maximize your output. You must create, produce, code, real stuff. First it will be terrible, then bad, then better. Anything will get you one step further. Talking more than doing is not worth much, many people are competing in that area already.
