I've seen this problem with the PD Missile Command game, the satellite
sprite would break up on me.

I fixed RoboCity by running it through FixHunk, no more problems.

While we're discussing sprite problems, how about Mindwalker? 
This is one of the few well behaved games I've seen (multitasking,
pause, front-back gadgets, and a clean exit), but the sprite for the
player dissapears during the "in the brain" sequence, unless Mindwalker
is run from it's own disk.

Has anyone else experienced this, or am I simply a victim of a shifted
screen?
