A83: Re: Re: Re: 86? 89? Perhaps and Maybe


bah, I have Breakout '89 almost finished and Diamonds v0.5 '89 almost
finished too :P
I'm addicted to 68k, I have so many other things I should be doing...

in that case, you have no excuse but to make more games ;) hehehe.  Maybe
you can make all our lives easier by writing a z80 -> 68k toutorial :)
