Homebrew of arcade Night Driver?

[ComputerSpaceFan]

I really like the original coin-op version of Night Driver and I always felt the 2600 cartridge was a bit disappointing. No offence to Rob Fullop, he did a heck of a lot with what the 2600 had to offer, but any similarity between the coin-op version and the cartridge version is pretty distant.

 

Two questions:

 

1) Would the 2600 be capable of displaying the white road markers as smoothly as the coin-op machine did? I mean, that arcade unit didn't show much in the way of graphics but what it did show was silky smooth for frame rate and such.

 

2) Would it be possible to make the game work with paddles in the Player 1 slot for steering and a joystick in Player 2 slot for switching gears?

 

Failing that, Enduro and Pole Position aren't playable with paddles are they? Or is there a hack out there to make them work with paddles?
