   While its not a speed-demon, the GS version is very capable in both
TV (1/2 height, 1/2 width) and 70mm (1/2 height, full width) sizes.
Personally, I prefer the 70mm mode, and the keyboard controls seem finer
than the joystick.

The gun is found on the "second level" so to speak, after you have been
captured...

Nope.  With amplified speakers, this game really makes you feel like
part of the 'movie', since it is more of an arcade adventure instead
of a strategy adventure.

?  I dunno, I just ran and jumped over them.  Pretty easy once you get
the timing down.

During most of the game, (using the keyboard) I just held down the CONTROL
key to run around for the most part.  The game goes much faster, and you
can jump a bit further [while running].  You can also get a little bit
better response during the game by pressing 'M' to turn the music off.
