Fun but must pay to unlock
Game is fun and reminds me of the game I used to play in the 1980's. You must pay to unlock the game to get anywhere in it. I do not mind paying the $2.99 but it is not indicated anywhere that you must pay to unlock it. That is pretty uncool.Frogonaut
A fun flashback, but…
I played this game for hours on my Apple II back in the 80’s. I respect that the money lender glitch is there, too. Unfortunately, guns get hit with incredible frequency and there just isn’t a good way to keep up; not a lot of opportunities to buy a new gun. It’s also odd that you can pay a lot less for a gun than a larger ship in this game. Also, a Ma Tsu should have some bodyguards and not get beat up so often.blueliner16
Shame On You!
This game is freeware distributed on the Apple IIe, back in the 1980s. I doubt that you actually created this game and so you have no rights to charge for it.
Drop your paywall and let people freely enjoy this old classic game, as it was meant to be.fecal-matter
