Hey, I just got 37,460 and 3,600 - respectively. (Pretty >rusty at Robot Attack, really.) My high score for Robot Attack is something around 12,000. Damn, those little suckers sure move fast at that level. Now my Alpha joystick is on the fritz, though. At least I haven't worn out any more keys (the P key went out after too much use as a 'fire' button...well, not completely out, but it needs babying).

Not actually a games question, but I looked through the help screen five times, and could not find a way to start a new discussion, only "reply" and "follow- up". A non-profit organization I work with has a Model III with RS 15Meg HD. The area took a lightning strike a while back, which fried EVERYTHING hooke to phone lines in the building--modems, Merlin controller, etc. The Model III was not hooked up at the time, but the problems started at the same time, so may have been induced. The problem: The Model II will boot fine under TRSDOS and NEWDOS, but will not boot under LDOS. It just sits there, starts, and keeps trying to reboot. The NEWDOS that we have is not 2.5, so the only access we have to the hard disk is under LDOS. I have tried different boot disks, and even gone back to the factory disk, which was stored in a safe at the time. The same thing occurs with all disks. I have also used the MEMTEST program on the TRSDOS desk, which reports all memory passing. Funds for computer repairs are in very short supply; does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this problem? Richard E.
