I'd like to hear more about this; is there a link online somewhere?

Other games I recall: "Keep On Drivin'",
and possible Pong or Centipede?,
and Space Invaders. (All were distributed on cartridge tape, most were
capable of being loaded via the serial port as well.)

We have working copies of these games: Keep on Drivin', Pong, Hacman
and Space Invaders run on our hp 2648 with a 8080 processor, and we
also have a version of Pong for hp 2644 with 8008 processor. Naturally
we saved them on our ftp-server. I never tried to load them via the
serial line, but would be interested to do that, because the cassettes
degrade more and more. Until now we didn't find a solution for the
dissolving drivebelts inside the small DCs.
You can find the files on our ftp-server:
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/cm/
in the subdirectories 2644 and 2648. Pong is named by the german
word "tennis".
