Ah, you're right. I knew DK was narrow, but I just played it again and
realized it's even narrower than my game. You know, I think they
actually did a pretty good job on that game, despite the missing levels.

I was thinking of putting the fuel guage right under the score, and
using the two men as rescuee counters between each flight. The left guy
would turn briefly into a digit telling how many you'd rescued, and the
right guy would be a digit telling how many were left on the surface.
Or I could tweak things and draw all six men... maybe.
