Of course it ties up my Mac, but it isn't logically different from saving the game, except that I can't resume from the saved state more than once. : : >Not that I have come past level 5 yet, but in the future I might... : : I STILL enjoy trying to make it through level 9 with one ship and still with : fuel remaining.

Yes, I've made it all the way thru level 60 from start without asking for extra ships.
