Yes, and you don't need it for the B&W games.
The circuit looks pretty simple, a TL081 and a power transistor (to sink the
current), and few resistors and things. On the Color Conv Card, the level
of clip is adjustable with a pot, and it's a very sharp clip.
Start with getting the B&W going, and add clipping, the Linearity and
Pincusioning stuff later...
