- Actually, it was ZONE 0. The layouts were identical, but I vaguely recall that
- your "life dots" extended much farther across the top of the screen and your
- time limit was unusually high. But then again, I only saw it once by PURE
- accident, back in 1984, and haven't been able to recreate it since. :-( I do
- know for certain that Zone 0 was much easier than Zone 1 (which makes sense
- ;-).
