z26 (an Atari 2600 emulator)

+Z26 is one of the best emulators for the Atari 2600. The author reports
+that the graphics part of the emulator is nearing perfection to a point
+that there's little more to fix.
+
+This is z26 version 2.13, the last release that was actually developed
+and tested on Linux. The later 3.x series has some issues running on
+Linux, and the authors aren't interested in fixing them. If you want
+to try it, install games/z26v3 (which won't conflict with this build;
+you can have both installed).
Note to 64-bit users: z26 is mostly written in 32-bit x86 assembly,
-so it can't be built for x86_64. However, if you build a z26 package
-on a 32-bit system, and install it on a 64-bit system that also has
-alienBOB's or Fred Emmott's 32-bit compatibility packages (specifically,
-a 32-bit sdl package is required), it should run just fine.
+so it can't be built for x86_64. However, this SlackBuild can create
+a package that will run on pure 64-bit Slackware, by using a prebuilt,
+statically linked z26 executable.
