I have to agree with all the negative reviews: Stellar 7, The Updated
Version, is a disaster. I remember playing the original on an Apple II+.
It was wireframe only, with the usual Apple bleeps and blips, and without
all the fancy special weapons or end-of-level guardians -- and this was
one of my all-time-favorite games. Plus, even on that 1 mhz processor it
really flew. Unfortunately the new S7 suffers from Creeping Featuritis (tm).
The solid-filled 3D graphics are slow and the colors are ugly. Sigh...
if only...

Say, here's a neat idea for a PD game... anyone up to translating the
original Stellar 7, wireframe graphics and all? Hmm, I may even take a
whack at it myself.
