Mulling over possibilities for an Atari 2600 RPG. I've got a basic data structure for a password system thought out. I just need to choose between styles of play.

* Phantasy Star Battle layout?

* Final Fantasy 1 Battle layout?

* Dragon Quest battle Layout?

In Dragon Quest you never see the Player sprite so they could be used elsewhere. However, seeing the character on screen like Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy does seem to connect the game player with their character better. I can have the characters exit "stage left" after their turn and a new character moves onto the screen for his.

The other possibility is to create the first Nethack clone. Hmmmn..
