A friend of mine bought a Vectrex for himself last Christmas and, after
playing Minestorm for a couple of weeks, encountered the same "bugs".
If I remember right, [1] level 14 wasn't there, [2] enemy ships were
frequently invisible/random vector patterns/dots/combinations thereof,
[3] point totals started increasing faster (I think target values
increased by some constant factor with each level).  Anyway, I saw him
play a game up through something like level 35 one evening, and things
got pretty strange.  There was another level (30, or something like that)
that was also missing.  

If you'd like to get the facts first-hand, you can reach this guy at
the following USnail address:

				Clarkson College
				Potsdam, NY 13676
