#3Really impressive. Especially the in-cartridge LED's. It's a shame the magic of the clean vector lines of the original Cinematronics got a little lost in the port.
On that note; how fucking awesome were/are Cinematronic games.

Man, this development effort was pretty impressive.

"Really impressive. Especially the in-cartridge LED's"??
It is a cool idea, but I think that is the part I could have done. Programming this on the 2600 is a different story.
[Aside: I think those white LEDs are out of date; in those days, LEDs were red]

The LED's are programmable and "actually flash with the gameplay". Yes that is really impressive.

#7It's impressive, but would it be worth investing in on Kickstarter? No.

Because this guy has a finished prototype ready for production, as opposed to all the other game projects that don't even have something designed?

You do know that there's a difference between vector displays and raster displays, right?
