Re: Help with Rescue Raiders the game!

Glad folks used the same trick I did.  :D  Rescue Raiders was one heck 
of a game for it's time and I enjoyed it a ton.

I've stated this before, but I wish there would have been better sound 
effects.   Having some music with a Mockingboard or Phasor card would 
have been a big bonus.  :)  Maybe someone with programming skills can 
try to patch a copy of the game.  :D
