Look this is exactly the point. We need something in the $200 range,
preferably that can be fitted to the compact Mac too. You don't need 24
bit colour for most games. A 4-bit or 8-bit, whichever gives best
price/performance, is the way to go. Maybe a scsi device of some sort
that plugs into a normal tv for video output? Perhaps a Nintendo?
