Only one month? I doubt that will be enough time to make a halfway decent game. Why not expand the deadline to November 1st? People would have enough time to make a "great" game and you could get it on cart as xmas present...

I worked on this for only one night, its only a title screen. I don't see myself working on it anymore by tomorrow, so I will submit it now.

Rick,
That is an awesome screen.
I believe that you could pull the game off if you choose to do so. Naysayers be damned.

I will definately finish it some day, but now I have to focus my resources on another project (which will remain unnamed), but that will be done soon. Maybe I can finish it sometime in the summer

We have waited since the VCS came out for it (Fonz shoulda been a release title) so waiting a few more months is a cakewalk
Good on ya Rick!
Can't wait to see the game progress in the near future.

It was planned to be released on the 2600? I did not know that, maybe there is a proto floating around...

Nope,
I meant logic would have made it a release title since Fonz was so popular at the time.
No work was ever done by Atari.
