I'm not a programmer in the least, I can barely manage using 20 GOTO 10 loops to make my C64 say dirty words.

But I am curious.

I've been doing a bit of research, and as we all know, Genesis controllers work on the 2600. I also managed to get the keyboard controller to work as a joystick, making navigation through Pitfall maddening.

So, Atari has all sorts of little tricks that can be done in terms of controller schemes. But what about the light gun? I would assume that works for the 2600 as well, since the controller ports are bi-directional and the light gun registering a hit would be able to be processed accordingly.

This has probably been thought up before, but I'm curious as to what the programming community thinks of it.

Oh.
Never mind then (whistles nonchalantly)
