Yeah, I'm working on an RPG game (among other things) but with 64k of
FLASH for code and data + 256k and 512k of Game and Work RAM respectively,
running out of 'space' isn't really a concern of mine. Making some 2
player games could be pretty cool though, but I'd have to make some sort
of custom cable to connect the units. I don't want to stand toe to toe,
eyebrow to eyebrow with some guy squinting at a little VMU screen playing
a feverish game of Tetris 2. ;-)
