Maybe I'm getting superstitious in my old age, but one feature I don't like about this game is that your lives are included in the list of bad guys you've got to get. Sympathy for those devils? Hey, if it weren't for me, they'd have nothing to do! I will confess that I did have to consult the manual on this one. As much as I like to go in to these games a blank slate, I still need help every now and again. Must be why I miss the old days with my Atari 1200XL in particular... and my childhood in general. Old age's not so different, really; just more pain pills to take. Also, you have less time for video games, and more time to focus on getting your affairs in order. Must be why I like Level 15, because you get 99 lives. On the other hand, you end up spending all your time and energy fighting fires. Not so fun... oopsie! Spoiler Alert. This game reminded me of that other Gebelli classic, Andromeda. That one seems a little more fun... maybe just more whimsical. Maybe it's just the opening music, who knows. I was also reminded of Citadel Warrior, but less sleek and more forgiving.
(later on) Okay, on Level 15 I was finally able to destroy ... I believe it's called a "nuke." Strange, they seem so timid on the easier levels. It took me 20 lives to destroy one, so... 1,980 more to go!
