...The extra life element was the only suggestion left that I can think of. With that added, Lead feels complete.

Actually I also noticed that...: Is that intentional?

Gonna have to second that 'double-click' feature. It makes for less accidents when moving the joystick. "Goddammit! I pressed left, not up!" Uhm, not sure I have anything else to add otherwise.

'Tis a fantastic review, JR. This game certainly needs the exposure. Oh, and thanks for the welcome, Cybergoth.

Hey folks. Been visiting AtariAge for some time, but more than anything I'm just following on the heels of my good buddy, Jess Ragan (Solar Plexus). He actually led me on to this particular game, which we both agree is quite phenomonal for what it does. I do believe, if I may be one to offer a suggestion or two, that the difficulty on Stage 1 should be toned down just a bit. I know most of the gamers here are hardcore, but if I want to show this game to my sister (which I have full plans to do), I'd like a slightly easier lead-in. The only other thing I want to mention is something that Jess also touched on. The continue feature should be more reasonable. Why couldn't it start me one stage back on the first continue, then each additional stage with each continue used. That way it allows the possibility to catch up to the later levels quicker, but you can't rely on overusing it. Okay, so maybe I just suck at this game at the moment, and I'm not sure how much space you need to program something like the continue idea. I'm really not a programmer, and I can only imagine how difficult 8k of memory is to work with. If I seem somewhat brash in marching in here and telling people what to do, I apologize. I only wish the best for Lead, and wanted to help by adding my own input. This really is the freshest game I've played in a long time, and can't wait for the day when I can play this game on an actual 2600. Keep cool, everyone. -TF Edit: ...Then I read the Non-Programmer Idea Peddlers post and feel even more stupid. Please don't lynch me too hard.
