Just for a laugh I downloaded it on to my LC (4/40) 12" colour monitor.
Sytstem 6.07
Loads of inits (too numerous to mention) including of course PsudoFPU.


It works............ that is to say it works minus a 1 to 2" border around
the bottom and right hand edge.  :-(

Not having ever played the game (and it looks as if I never will because
I cant see my spaceship!) I cannot comment on the speed of the game on the LC.

I do hope someone will come up with a new version for the LC 12" colour screen.
That will obviously depend on how well the machine sells....(another story).
