- I was looking through some WaReZ box that someone gave me a while back and
- I discovered a disk with some game called "Sentry" on the label. Well I
- was interested to see this game you were talking about and booted it up.
- It is an old Synapse game, (c) 1984, and is probably the reason for the
- name change.

- be considered 'modern': smooth text scrolls, multiplexed sprites, and
- opened-up side borders, except without all the sparklies you often see in
- demos. It reminds me of an old Activision game for the Atari 2600 that was
- similar to star-raiders... what the heck was the name of that thing? Oh well.
