2 games in 1

Well, one of them really isn't a game. (hint!) I decided and feel that Boobs for the Odyssey 2 wasn't good enough to stand on its own, so I decided to make a companion program for it. I'm going to keep it a secret for now. I also decided that Odyssey 2 is better than the Atari 2600. Even though Atari 2600 has 128 colors and Odyssey 2 only has a select few, the Odyssey 2 has built in letters, and can display 4 sprites without flicker. I find it interesting that the Odyssey 2 didn't fare better in the States than it did overseas, where it sold much better. I also decided that Odyssey 2 assembly is much easier and therefore better than Atari 2600 assembly, which I never did get to understand. Therefore, it's better for me to create games and stuff with. I showed my result of a few hours' worth of programming to my mom and she likes it, so I hope you will too. I'm not finished with it yet, though. I spent the last hour coming up with a title screen to the secret thing. Since one of the words in the title has 8 letters, I thought I'd try my hands at quads. (sets of 4 characters.) So I successfully made the 8 letter word using no characters at all. So if I wanted to, I could put "PRESS ACTION" on the title screen as well since the Odyssey 2 can display 12 characters, but I don't know if I will yet. So I hope to have a dual game (like, say, Out of This World/Helicopter Rescue) If so, it will be my first, and my first 4k cart as well. I don't know how to bankswitch, so I'm hoping that someone else can merge the two 2k binary files into one 4k cart. And it should have the SELECT GAME screen at the beginning, and press 1 for Boobs and press 2 for the other thing. I'm so sleepy, but I need to stay awake if I want to go to the flea market this Sunday. I got my life turned around again where I sleep all day and am awake all night.
