- While its not a speed-demon, the GS version is very capable in both
- TV (1/2 height, 1/2 width) and 70mm (1/2 height, full width) sizes.
- Personally, I prefer the 70mm mode, and the keyboard controls seem finer
- than the joystick.

- Nope. With amplified speakers, this game really makes you feel like
- part of the 'movie', since it is more of an arcade adventure instead
- of a strategy adventure.

- During most of the game, (using the keyboard) I just held down the CONTROL
- key to run around for the most part. The game goes much faster, and you
- can jump a bit further [while running]. You can also get a little bit
- better response during the game by pressing 'M' to turn the music off.
