Heh heh.  I know the fellow who did the Apple II version of this.  He never
thought much of it... (good programmer, though)

I love this one.  Unbelievably difficult control scheme!

Yup...

I remember loving this one but can't for the life of me remember what it was
about.  Anyone care to refresh my memory?


Y'know, I still don't understand why lots of the older, simpler games are
just abandoned when more sophisticated hardware comes out.  Some of those
old games were flat out *fun*, despite having sometimes simple graphics.
Plus, I think that lots of them would be a snap to port compared to doing
some of the "modern" games.  They could bundle a few of them together and
still probably not charge too much.  Oh well...
