EDIT-Get the ROM here: http://www.nesworld.com/homebrew_sudoku.htm
I finished up my Sudoku game over the weekend. I ended up finding and fixing some bugs after sitting down and playing it for a bit. I probably shouldn't say its finished, since I may hear about bugs from my tester, but its good enough for me right now.
My earlier prototype wasnt so good. My scrolling code was glitchy, my title screen was buggy, and the puzzles I didnt have much variety in the difficulty of puzzles (they were all too hard in my opinion). I also found that testing on a real TV I hadnt aligned my nametables too well, and some of my graphics were washed out or annoying to the eyes.
Here's some screenshots (taken using an emulator).

I burned off a newer prototype and gave it to a friend who is my beta tester. After I apply whatever fixes he suggests (He already found one, I mis-spelled his name on the credits screen) I'll post the ROM and likely the source as well.
If anyone here attends the Toronto retro game show at the end of April, you can pick up a copy there. I plan on making a limited number of carts.
