  I would also add that the save game option doesn't work (at least on the
  c-64).  Specifically, I am not able to save/replace an old captain name.
  When saving, I have to use a different name than any on the save disk,
  otherwise when I restart, it is obvious the last save did not take effect.
     This is not too frustrating except that i cannot get above the first
  level in the game because it assumes I am a different player each time.

  If I am doing something wrong, maybe someone could clue me in.
