  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Ben Haller finally got $10 from me. He deserved it! I haven't been able to make a score above 900,000 since its reissue but I'm working on it. I first played it, when my 17 year old son was just a baby, I thought beating it was just a cruel hoax. But I found the fireworks at the end. This is a great game. Shoot 'em and dodge. Plenty of decisions to make along the way. It is frustrating when you get zapped even though you KNOW you had the sheild on. Maybe you can't be in motion at the critical moment. I don't blame iClock. (Don't have it to my knowledge so I don't disable it.) I'd like to hear from other players with their strategies before we meet to play for a dollar a point. M. Beberman

• doesn't respond to keystrokes

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I remember this game fondly from my IIsi days. It drove me mad then and it drives me mad now. But this time, it's because the keys are unresponsive. I keep on getting killed by those bloody pentagons because my shields don't come on in time when I press the spacebar. And it's not because I'm too slow, even if I press the spacebar as soon as I see the pentagon start dropping down, the shields still don't go on. In fact, they *never* activate. There is definitely something wrong with the key response in this game. (TiBook 1Mhz, 10.3.6)

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br /><p>Wow, I was just thinking about this game the other day and how I wish there were an OS X version. I was thinking about installing classic on one of my machines simply so I could play it. Now I'm thinking I'll be playing this game all weekend long without any sleep.</p> <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!</p>
