Pulls out his dead horse and starts beating on it...
I still think the Sega G-80 system would be easiest to develop for. I mean, the architecture has been documented significantly by Al Kossow, Clay has some vector editor/viewer tools for it, there are 3 different sound boards for use in development, AND if someone would figure out a way to encode the speech, you could have speech too! Not to mention you don't have to do a lot of ROM/RAM hacking...just populate the EPROM board up to the 48K allowed.
