Well, I stated on one of these lists that I'd limit it.  In the case of solitaire, either we don't support it (oops), or use scrolling, which everyone will hate.  I never said everything is possible, but we'll do as much as we can.

I think that when you see something as completely impossible (though
it would be nice), you just want people not to waste time.  I mean, it
seems like no one even programs games any more.  For an example of a
game that could not be converted, there is my solitaire game (Solytare
(btw, i made a Zshell version, coming soon)).  it *needs* to be able
to fit 7 columns of 16 byte wide sprites (112 pixels wide).  The
screen on the 82/83 simply is not wide enough to accomodate it (96
pixels wide).  Have do you plan to pass this barrier?
