Speaking of Captain Comic:

  - Has anyone else noticed this "feature": When you die, keep the spacebar
    down. When you get a new life, the captain will fly for a short while
    at the top of the screen. You can use this to get the teleport wand.

  - Someone asked about maximum scores in Captain Comic. I can't remember
    what our maximum score is (I think it is about 1.800.000), but it merely
    reflects our patience. There are a few places where you can stay safe
    and sound and shoot all the nasty creatures - we've used that to get
    many new lives during the game. It makes a good, loooooong game.
