OK; I've uploaded a new version that should fix this (a silly typo;
there was a LD C,A instead of a LD C,1) and also add half-speed
horizontal guardians (flagged by setting bit 5 of guardian byte 7).

I don't plan to add any more features to the basic game engine.
There are a few bytes left here and there, but it would take serious
code movment to move them together so something useful could be put in
them. And if I wanted serious code changes (such as adding skylabs,
kongs or eugenes to the generic engine rather than using patch
vectors) I'd start eating into the space available for sprites.
