	16	I have no words. It seemed very high-concept, at the time. Possibly because
	17	the enemy agents did things quite independently of what you were doing.

18		If it seems disappointing that you can only carry one object at a time,
19		consider that you're a duck, so isn't it a bit miraculous that you can carry

	29	Beautiful graphics. Since the antagonists were implemented with "soft sprites"
	30	(groups of programmable characters), all(?) 8 hardware sprites were free to
	31	be used for the protagonist in a composite fashion that was both hi-res and
	32	multicolour. The music was also good. The game itself was quite hard.

55	57	flying at night over a lightless plain, that's essentially reasonable.

	59	In fact IFR simulators were "a thing" and there are more than one for
	60	the Commodore 64, but this one is for the C64 only and is freeware.
