Ok, what I've got is a little kit that plugs into a stock Asteroids
board and lets you play Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, and Lunar Lander
all all the same board. (Just like a MultiPac plays a bunch of Pacman
games, etc.)

This is another gizmo of mine. It's a board that connects to the end of
an Asteroids board and makes Space-Duel type connectors. It includes
some circuitry to "colorize" the B/W vectors and a new Vector ROM to
make everything nice and colorful. ;-)

The color board will go with a Space Duel (or probably Gravitar/BW).
The Atari Ast/Dlx/LL multigame will work in a standard Asteroids cab, or
a color cab with the addition of the board above. (whew, long
description)

Well, it *could* be done-- add buttons, use an Asteroids board with the
kit on it, etc... Kinda grim. Your Mileage May Vary.

Sorry, that's probably my fault. I get excited and have to babel to
vectorlist when I figure something out. The importance of patching
Lunar Lander code to run on a stock Asteroids board is somehow lost upon
my wife. (She gives me that "what are you jabbering about you freak?"
look and says something like "Ohh. Good." ;-)
