I need this rather weird control schema to allow thrusting while the tractor beam is enabled, so you can pick up the Klystron pod >So I think giving the game a little more unique touch >and making it a little less like the original that >way, might be a good idea. I'm not very creative, so the challenge for me was, to make the game as much like the original as possible. I'm also a big fan of the c64-version, so it should be some kind of tribute to the orignal. Changing it now just for copyright reasons would make me sad. I think i'll only remove the Firebird copyright and take the risk... >BTW, in the game, when I loose the last life at a >higher level, a new game starts at that level again. >Is that intentional? No, that is (was!) a real bug.

The next relase will have this memory schema, i just changed my code. ===== Thomas Jentzsch | *** Every bit is sacred ! *** tjentzsch at yahoo dot de | __________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
