This is really going to sound harsh - it's not a critique on the game
itself but rather its current implementation. The RAM usage is completely, hugely,
insanely beyond anything that even remotely makes sense for an arcade
style game. This thing takes multiples of times more RAM that Quake
III!!!!!!!!

For comparison, take a look at the RAM usage of similar games such as
Spheres of Chaos, MAME Blasteroids, Maelstrom.

Hate to be a big meanie but that's my true feedback.
