MARK WILSON


Thanks everyone.   I did a little searching of all the mentioned games.  It
was Slap Fight.

I did a little browsing and was able to find an emulated version.  I can't
believe it was 1986.   That's 12 years ago.  I've been playing games for way
too long.   Anyways, I'm gonna get back to playing Slap Fight.

Thanks to everyone.
