Hm... the horizon is not definite yet, though it is a 
bit early for me to see if it influences the gameplay.

I have a few plans to enhance the game, which will 
counteract against the lost bufferspace I hope:

For example I will try to have more water mines onscreen 
than the arcade (...triple copies...). And, like in 
Seafox, I'm planning on reflecting the torpedoes if they 
hit the Red Cross ship.
And finally I'm considering some more free movement for 
the sub, so that it can also move somewhat vertical 
(...Polaris...).

BTW: More Seawolf ports discovered: Commodore also 
licensed it for C64 and VIC-20 cartridge versions.

Greetings,
