It's impossible to do something like this entirely on your own, and so I've got a few people to thank.

First, my girlfriend Louise for putting up with endless boring monologues on the difficulties of AI programming and the benefits of so many enormous guns when faced with a rampant Battle Droid.

Gary Dietachmayer helped an enormous amount with the AI, without his brilliant ideas this may well have ended up two-player only. Oh, and he was incredibly patient with my useless terminal and its failed attempts at uploading files (not to mention the frequent mis-spelling of his name).

Martyn Brown, of Team 17 Software, granted permission for me to use several samples from the brilliant game ``Alien Breed". Listen out for that ``Load Weapon" sound. Best sample I ever heard!

Nigel Mansell for winning the British Grand Prix (never mind the World Championship), giving me a fantastic day out even if I did have to stand from 4am until 4pm to see it.

This game was brought to you with the aid of:

• Bruce Springsteen	—	Just about everything
  REM	—	Out Of Time, Green
  Cyndi Lauper	—	She's so Unusual, Night to Remember
  Gerry Rafferty	—	Baker Street (what else?)
  The Eagles	—	Best Of

• Enough Coke to float a cruise liner (that's the drink, by the way)

• AMOS and Compiler, both versions 1.34, from Europress Software DPaint III

• Boredom staved off with Civilization, which also gave me the inspiration for the ``Centre view" function and the keyboard shortcuts.

• And of course, inspiration by the fantastic Rebelstar / Laser Squad.
