After all those postings from people who don't like violence (wimps!),
I thought that those who write games might be influenced by this obscene
pacifism.  I am, of course, speaking for the hordes of fun loving citizens
who enjoy violent video games.  When I kill something, I like to hear it
scream.  If you're of like persuasion, flood the net with your views.  Yes,
I am advocating net violence!  Did you think I'd sit here *peacefully*?

BTW, I liked both games (although nothing screamed when I shot it).
I thought ASTROTIT showed much more ingenuity, though.
