- What kind of chip is that? ASIC, FPGA?

- There have been some discusions about falcon specific features and intros etc.
- I think it would be nice to do it a little in our own way. Not just make it
- _exactly_ as Doom. It looks like we have some democoders in here that could
- do some cool things. They have to make it VGA compatible though. ;-)
