Interesting twist, though perhaps not quite as interesting to people on this 
list - we're not getting new games after all! ;)

Everything that Joel points out is correct of course, but it's also 
interesting to note that Sockmaster tempted the wrath of Nintendo - 
historically one of the most aggressive defendants of their IP - when 
porting Donkey Kong _to_ the CoCo! Not that I'm advocating you ignore the 
rights of any Coco authors of course.
