Use the numeric keypad (only 2,4,6,8 and 0 for actions) to move your dude
around. Yes! it is really cool, and runs nicely on a Mac SE, but, if you've
played the original video game, you'll find that it is a VERY small part
of the original. Dragon's Lair has ~15 (I think) different screens, while
Space Ace has ~30....furthermore, you'll need about 4 MB hard disk space
for it. To top it off, they've got copy protection that uses a card FULL
of codes on it (which I don't mind), but they use a faint xerox-proof
print that is really hard to read (which I DO mind).....
