I tried playing it at IIGS speeds, but it just gets way too fast for
me for the later levels!  There are 12 levels in the game.  I plan on
making one more game before the competition closes using DHGR which
should prove interesting considering the limitations of BASIC.  For
that one, it will more than likely need to be played on a IIGS :)  but
we'll see.
