An unsigned editorial on the planning and commitment required to write a major game for the Timex/Sinclair 2068. Discusses the machine’s memory constraints (39,826 bytes available), the design of a large 64×64 wrap-around world map for war and RPG games, estimated development time (~2,000 hours for the CONQUEST project), and the value of team programming. Serves as context for the accompanying Code Bytes installments.
