Probably not, but I bet you could do 30x20 or maybe 40x20. ;-) Some of
the text "instruction" pages in SW and ESB are pretty dense... ;-)

One of my side projects a little while back was to use the color
Asteroids mod and a little software and a PIC microcontroller to play
Asteroids in a Tempest cabinet using the spinner. Thrust is
Super-zapper, fire is fire. I was just going to leave off Hyperspace...
