Hi John,
Thanks for the compliment. I will take a leap here and guess you never played the
orginal game back in 1981. :) The original game had the player's ship limited like
that, perhaps to put more quarters in the owner's pocket. ;) Granted this isn't an
arcade game but I thought I would keep close to the original intent. The arcade
game "timepilot" had more of what you described. Beside what other way could I
keep you from getting to level 21. :D
