I've tried, but unfortunately I had to realize that 1K is too damn hard
for a machine without any O/S and 128 Bytes RAM, sorry.

I've given up on both of my attemps.

Thomas Jentzsch (Thrust) tried porting a minimalist version of the
Odyssey 2 'Robot City' game in <1K to the VCS, but had soon to give up,
too. 

Just like me he decided to do a full blown version instead :-)

I'm not sure if some more VCS projects are still in the works. Billy Eno
(Warring Worms) said he'll try, but hasn't yet posted any results.

Well, even with none of us succeeding at the contest, it at least
motivated some guys to start something new on the VCS, so I've to thank
you for that! :-)

Maybe if next years competition will have again an option for 2K games,
there'll be VCS entries.

Anyway, thanks for doing it, it's fun. Cool entries so far. I hope some
will result in C= Hacking articles again, they were some excellent
reading.
