I have Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe in relocatable source form now.
Asteroids Deluxe was giving me fits because it put some of the 6502 code
in the vector ROM (!!!). Game code and vector data are intermixed, and
that has been taken care of. ;-) I had to leave the vector data alone,
though, unless I really wanted to go off and get crazy (which I don't).

I'm working on Lunar Lander right now. I almost have it back in to
recompilable source form, though instead of blinking the landing pads,
it's blinking "AUXILIARY FUEL" in place of it. Kinda amusing! But at least
Lunar Lander doesn't intermix vector data and code.

I was referring to the inability to just move a game to another region or
make it "a little bigger". You're kinda forced to just patch things with
this approach.

Hehehehe... the mind wanders. ;-)
