- Please stop accusing me of telling lies. I replied to your post, or was
- that email. Looking at the game, SURE, I could select screenmodes, even
- low-res non-interlace, (although hi-res non-interlace failed the first
- few times) but I didn't get a 320x256 screen - I got a bloody 640x512
- screen! Scrolling about in an oversized title screen is more of a pain
- that it is to put up with the flicker.
