I could see lumping Robotron in with the Defender chapter if it could be done easily.

In retrospect I would have lumped more games together, like Pong and Spacewar!, but we pretty much have to stay the course now and just write. I'm actually happy that we jumped around in our writing, as chapters will be "randomly" two to six pages, not counting images (which will probably add one to three pages to each in the final book). Seems like purely by accident, we'll have reached a good mix and balance. If we had written in a linear fashion, the chapters in the back would have received short shrift, whether they were supposed to be or not (meaning some chapters were always meant to be short, and some long).

I expect to finish the Robotron chapter today. There will be a few other short ones too, like Pole Position and Star Raiders, among others, with the rest probably being roughly mid-size, with only one or two remaining of the long variety.
