Really good! I got to 1996, and got this error though: http://pastebin.com/m75a38ce4 (sorry, I accidentally copied an Adium error in there too)

@Thomas Yes but your score won't be memorized (it's cheating). The next version will share score over internet.

I got past the year 2050 once I figured out the cheat codes.

Thanks for your feedback. I choose not to implement life concept, but instead a "free ram" (life bar), when it reach ZERO you died. But yes from 2000 it became difficult, until you got the iMac (power shoot) that could help. I need to refine the balance to make it a little easier from 1998.

Playing it again, I got to 2002 again. Then I got to 2004. All in all, I think it's a bit too hard after 2000.

It took me two games to get to 2002 (that's where I died). I think it would be nice to have several lives, but keep the difficulty otherwise as it is. I see this game as more of a satirical joke--which is good--and so I think there should be more than one chance to get to the end.

To Ian Mallet, Do you feel the game balanced ? Too easy or too difficult ? How many game to go to 2002 ? I've difficulty to choose the right balance. I think that the new PC Win95 (flying like galaxian) made the game too difficult, but you goes to 2002.

Well nice. I got to 2002.

I will correct my rating! This game is simple, but funny and very well done!

AHAHAH!!! Very funny and well done... but fire on commodore is brutal!
