I too had the chance of playing the game and also found the game boring after a
few levels (I've actually taken the time and played upto level 50+, everything
after level 20 is the same).  I too found that you usually get one opponent who
is weaker and the other who just wins game after game after game, etc.

FYI, Spectre REQUIRES a color macintosh, ie. will work only on 68020 and 030
machines only.
