Here's something new I've been working on — the Pitfall source code poster. I thought I'd share it w/ you all and get your thoughts.
What I have done is taken the source code from Pitfall (the version disassembled by Thomas Jentzsch), and used it to recreate the Pitfall Harry running sprite from the game. I have done this for two other posters: Halo 2600 and Berzerk.
Here's the poster:

The poster, as it currently stands, is 36" wide x 24" tall. But because there's so much code, the code copy is only ~ 7 point. The only edits I made to the source code was to reduce the number of comment dashes/equal signs so that they were uniform throughout. I also took slight liberties with the colors to increase visibility/legibility. It's still a little rough, but it should be final soon.
