Sorry, but I beg to differ with the "CANNOT FINISH THE GAME IN ONE PLAYER MODE"
as I (by myself) have finished the game 3 times. (as such I don't play it much
anymore)  To beat the game I did use the edit options by using the spacebar at
the main options page.  I set the number of their bullets down to the lowest
setting and set their bullet speed to one above the lowest (to get em off the
screen a bit faster), and also set lives to 5.

I do agree that the weapons that look like fireballs are the best..get them to
the maximum power.

On the 2nd level with the meanies that come from behind, the way to cut way
down on this is to make sure you take out each building top that you come
to.  At least take out one half of the screen of buildings and try to stay on
that side.

And for the big kicker on how to beat the game...get a rapid fire module for
you mouse and use it...I could constantly crank out major firepower with that.
It is also much quicker on the nova bombs as the right mouse button sets em
off. (instead of that circular motion fire button thing. Yuck!)

Till later...
