A few initial observations (Win98SE, Celeron 500):

1. There appears to be no documentation whatsoever in the distribution.

2. Do we really need the console window of technical information?

3. You seem to have assumed everybody has the same screen resolution as 
you, whatever that may be.  The window doesn't properly fit on the 
screen even on 1024x768, let alone 800x600 (which I usually use).

4. I often have to hold down a key for a second or so before it hears me.

5. How about supporting the numeric keypad as a control mechanism?

6. Joystick control isn't working for me at all.  (Before you ask, yes 
my joystick is calibrated - it works fine when testing in Control Panel.)

7. Why does it disable Alt+F4 and Alt+Space?

8. The highlight on the main menu should default to Start, both on 
startup and when a game is finished.  As it happens, when my game is 
over it randomly comes up on either Quit or Credits.

9. The highlight on the Credits screen should default to Back.

10. Esc ought not to abort the game without prompt.  It's quite easy to 
press it by mistake, e.g. while backing out of the Start menu and 
hitting it one too many times, or when expecting it merely to back out 
of something _within_ the application.  It's also within easy reach of 
any mischievous children who may be in the room.
