	One quick note:  I bought Bounder a couple weeks ago and found
that my version didn't work.  Well, I returned it, got another one,
and it didn't work.  Took the second copy over to my brother's house
over vacation, tried it on his c128 (w/1571), and it worked fine.  It
is a very nice game!  However, it does not seem to work properly on
older model c64's, as I have a very early one (my screen still "twinkles").

	Beware: this game may not work on your c64.  This is the
*only* game I have ever used that does not work on my machine.  There
have been a few games that die with my brother's 1571, but that isn't
too surprising.  It does surprise me that this game did not work properly.

	Question: it would seem that this game uses some really
low-level hand-waving to get some stuff done, but how could it not
work across different c64's?  What could make it that incompatible?  I
spoke with a friend, and he said he has encountered other software
like this, but this is the only time I have *ever* used software on my
machine that does not work.
