I often find that I will not purchase a program until I see multiple
good reviews of it.  Well here it is, buy Jet.  If you like a game
that can be played long and hard, lots of difficulty levels, including
no difficulty (no enemy fire), then this is it.  Strategy, don't pull
up to high or you are spotted on radar.  Can you keep your velocity
straight up with a magnitude high enough to out run the missle?
	I have waited since I saw the beta for this in Nov. 85.  I 
bought it as soon as it came out.  I normally do not like games, but
this one is worth the time.  Very well done.  The programmers of
this game deserve a lot of credit.  It is one of the best game interfaces
that I have dealt with.  
	Anything annoying?  Yes, the world is small.  I would like
for the enemies to start off a little easier.  The book does not document
all the weapons to the level I would like.  No weather.  The pitch
of the engine, which will shake your house with suitable stereo, does
not match the thrust indicator.  It works fine, the pitch just changes
at a rate different from the guage.  It doesn't save high scores.
I cannot seem to get it to work from a cli, I have to cold boot.  I
do have 1.5Mb of memory.  If you have only .5Mb of memory you do need
to cold boot, but that is documented.
