Collision detection is shocking.
Colour clash makes it hard to spot your target.
Scrolling is jerky (one character block at a time).
I think I would have cried if I'd bought this full price at the time. -

I think the graphics are far superior and faster than elite (a game which I love inicidentally).What was the last commercial game released / you bought?Two pronged question this.
