Just listen to Thrust: when using Shield (DOWN) and
Thrust (FIRE) together, the result is much louder than
expected and doesn't sound right.

The turning speed matches the speed of the C64
original now. I'll make it slower (are 20% reduction
enough?) in rookie-mode.

Yes, that's a good idea. I thought about two different
bins when i started developing Thrust. Your idea is
much better, i think correcting the timings for VBLANK
and overscan and some game-speed-parameters should do
it.

I have no idea how to contact Firebird. I thought it
would be legaly better to put their copyright in the
game and the manual, because both are very similar to
Firebird's C64-version. I don't know much about the
law, maybe you can help?
