I would say 3, 6, 9.

I don't have any plans to improve JarVIC further... it works pretty well right now. There are a couple of problems with tight interrupt timing (eg in Frogger 07) but I don't have the time to look into them.
Does the sound stop working in Quikman?

Elite was probably inspired by Kenny Everett's sci-fi parody Captain Kremmen, so I wouldn't worry about being sued :)

Read the instructions?
You probably just need to set VICE up with the correct memory and PAL/NTSC switches for each game.
Or you could run the VIC emulator in MESS, which allows you to set the correct screen aspect ratio.
Or run PCVIC in a DOS emulator.

That instruction is a single "memory operation," storing the (single byte) contents of the accumulator at address $HHLL.
If the manual says four cycles, it means four cycles. Sounds about right.

Sword of Fargoal or Temple of Apshai. Both awesome.

For future reference, MobyGames isn't very complete, but it finds these easily enough.

How about:
@SEACAT OoMONSTR #DNGR
Presumably it's not possible to put a line feed in the middle?

It's a shame to have to put so much work into Seastalker, since it's not a very good Infocom game. (With apologies to the authors!)

Is it possible to just put the interpreter and the data file onto a disk and go?
I ask because redistributing the data files might irritate Activision.

Best I've done recently is about level 47 or so. I don't remember the score. I can doctor up a screen shot for you if you'd like :)
