[stella] Qb Instruciones & gameplay comments

[Ruffin Bailey <rufbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welp, I've gone to the site where Qb for the Atari 800 
(http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~aaronat/qb.html) is available for download, 
but I don't see a manual.  Not that the premise seems too difficult (took 
me a few seconds playing to find out what that site says; the fire button 
gets rid of the "bad guys"), but I thought I might bug you for 
one.  Manuals are definitely one of my favorite parts of a game, and the 
quality over the years seems to have gotten quite a bit worse.  Who is this 
Qb critter?  What's his motivation?!!  Where's all this crazy fruit come 
from?  Is Qb a vegetarian?  etc.  :^D

And fwiw, I think the flicker works with the fruits.  The game's going fast 
enough that I enjoy the multicolor more than I dislike the flicker.  I 
remember games like Donkey Kong (where Kong was one color, iirc) and 
perhaps Popeye where the lack of multicolor really hurt the gameplay imo.

There is a sinlge-color critter who's potato looking who seems to have the 
palsy.  Sometimes he jumps, and sometimes he just sits there.  What's up 
with him?

Cool game, thanks!  When's the cart coming out?  Soon as you get the title 
screen?  :^)  Would be neat to get the buyer's name in there or perhaps 
just the number of the cart.
