What's "NLT"?

I waited over a minute and all I got was "Preparing".

Me too. Of the X16 cases I've seen so far (I have Tim's), this one is the closest to the spirit of 8-bit micros I've seen.

AWWWWW!

...in the original arcade version? It always seemed to me that I could shoot as much as I wanted, but only do a 'zap the entire grid' once a level. Correct. Tempest was my favorite arcade game back in the '80s. Got pretty good, too. There's two or three online versions you can play, but the UE isn'...

65816...no "c".

I wouldn't recommend this to be a community project, otherwise your gonna run into the "too many cooks" problem and nothing will get done. Collaborations of two or three are more manageable.

If someone wants to play around with X16 programming, what language should be used to introduce them? Where to begin depends on your target audience. Someone with little to no programming experience should start with BASIC. Once that's mastered, you could move to one of the more advanced high-level...

Another reason to document your code is so that others can understand what you're doing, should you decide to share it.

I second that. I have a Brother HL-1440 that's over 10 years old and still runs like a champ. Before that I had an HP LaserJet 4 (my first) which also worked quite well.
