I learned earlier this year that wubsoft - aka Rob Evans - was working on bringing Arkanoid 2: Revenge of Doh to the SAM, as a tribute to the amazing home conversions by Imagine Software, back in 1988. I'd dropped him a line to ask if he was interested in attending RetCon , and it turned out he'd not only already bought his ticket , but that he was hoping to have the game ready to show at the event. With the conversion based primarily on the Atari ST version - since that was already 16-colour, so most easily adaptable to the SAM - I happened to notice that the Vaus II pod was a whole 1 pixel taller in the ST conversion than it was in the arcade game, though it was also 3 pixels narrower , at 29x9 pixels, versus the arcade's 32x8 pixels. Rob explained that the narrower bat was more convenient for the way the SAM moves the sprite, but that's getting into territory I don't really understand.
