atari 2600 games
i was playing some old 2600 games yesterday, and then i realized that the atari had an anolog stick and ONE action button, just like psp flash. Does anyone think it is a good idea to port some 2600 games to the psp?

I mean port, or reprogram some old 2600 games like space invaders, warlords and raft rider into flash for the psp. Allthough you could just use a emulater. But it would be cool... right?

I found one! it runs a little slow, but i think i'll go and edit it, make moving the plate with the d-pad and not the stick. If someone could make a 2600 emulator in flash, that would be the best!

Re: atari 2600 games
I did a pong remake which you can read about on this thread. Unfortinately i was unable to recreate the two player mode because of the psps limited number of button(Although there are 12 buttons and a mouse on the psp, only 5 and the mouse are usable for flash gaming. The rest are for using the browser).
