	I have a major problem with this game.  I don't have a lifetime to play
it....and believe me, it will take you a life time to play the bloody thing!

	Now, this game has major entertainment value, but unfortunately, it
takes to ruddy long to play.  I'm talking time here, playing time!  Now I have
been driven to the point of absolute frustration and have clocked this game with
a stopwatch.  First thing though: I am attempting to participate in this game
with an Amiga 1000 with 2 meg and have tried both 1.2, 1.3 kickstart plus two
copied disks, (this game allows you to copy it and use a code wheel), and have
gotten no where.  Now back to stopwatch, this is what I have clocked, beleive it
or not:
	It takes approximately 8 minutes for the computer to catch up with you
every time you move the mouse to an action sequence, ie.. click mouse for 
mineral pickup, wait 8 minutes.  Click mouse for scanner, wait 8 minutes.
Click mouse for map, wait 8 minutes.  Now, I'm being relatively modest with thes
times, in some situations I have waited up to 17 minutes for something to 
happen.  This is a bloody shame!  I can see " ELITE " blown out of the water
with this game, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll live long enough.

	If anyone has away to get around this problem, I'd much appreciate it
if it was posted.

	P.S. Please excuse the spelling mistakes, it ain't me, it's this 
freeking modem!!
