Got a good deal from a local video game shop. 4 boxes full of common to rare 2600 carts. 2 more boxes of duplicate commons. I NEVER WANT TO SEE ANOTHER COMBAT CARTRIDGE AGAIN! Sorting out the duplicates was a messy, time consuming, er, mess.

Plan on shipping the dupes to AtariAge but the store is closed and my wallet is empty. Shipping is gonna be killer.

My programming for the day consisted of digesting Batari's answer to my multi-bank function question and experimenting with rand.

I've tried to make levels using pseudo random numbers on the PC and failed. In Batari BASIC it's actually working. So far I've got a vertical dungeon that is 256 screen big. I figure I can alter the results of the pseudo random number generator to effectively have a 256 x 256 screen dungeon with zero storage footprint.

It's 2am and I STILL have carts to clear off my bed.. not thinking so good.. hopefully will experiment more this weekend. Night everyone!
