It uses dithering to obtain more colours. It also supports an MT-32 MIDI device (or any other multi-timbral synth) or 4 channel sound from the Mac's internal speaker.

Although Thexdar has many different sound channelers, it has weak sound. I was told that it had excellent sound, but when I saw my friend's.... Yuck.

It's a nice program, but very difficult. I can only make it to Level 4. I'm waiting to see if the guys from Sierra get Thexder II out, too.

It was called Silpheed and ABSOLUTEL NOTHING to do with Thexder. It took me about 2 hours to finish the stupid game. Thexder on the other hand was awesome Steve hasses@prism.cs.orst.edu
