After waiting since last August for the game toe released, I bought a copy
mail-order three days after Taito finally offered it for sale [Qix is the
only arcade game I ever considered plunking quarters into :) ].  So, since
January (February?) I have played the game and never had a crash.  I have
heard heard nothing about an update, but I also haven't asked about one...

I highly recommend the game to anyone who likes a game that combines
arcade reflexes with thoughtful planning ahead.
