[edit] Frame rate?

The article says that the frame rate on a C64 was only 0.3fps. This suggests that the movement on the screen was very jerky. However, I seem to remember that while the C64 indeed took some time to precompute the next view, the actual scrolling ran quite smoothly.

[edit] Game code list

I've linked to my list of game codes, which constitutes about 4% of the total list. I was wondering if an actual page should be created for them, so others can add more codes as new ones are discovered.
