And strategy is exactly the reason why i like
Starmaster that much. Back then, it was first game for
me, where I did need some strategy to beat the game at
the highest level (save ALL starbases).
And now that I know, that both things are done in just
4K, I like it even more.
BTW: Did someone else look at the code?
It seems that Alan Miller didn't know all opcodes of
the 650x well . He is always using CLC, ROR instead of
a simple LSR. Funny, isn't it?
Have fun!
