Bractaccas.  I remember that game.  I played it for a while and very quickly
took it back to the store saying the company hadn't finished making it.
The controls on that game were so horrible, it is laughable.  Speaking as
someone who worked his way through Obliterator and SOTB I, I would have
to say that Psy.:  a.  has some great game concepts
		   b.  makes games which look _amazing_
		   c.  the majority of its games make
		       you wish you could strangle the guy
		       who designed the controls
