I've played with the release version in Novice mode for a while, and I have
two major complaints:
1) This little bugger is SLOW on loading on a Mac+. What's interesting is
that it's not I/O taking the time: I set my ramdisk cache to 1 Meg,
started the program up, quit it and restarted PT-109. Only one access
to the hard disk, but it took just as long to start the game up as it
had without the ram cache on. I'd be curious how it works on a Mac II
or something with an accelerator card.
2) Very easy to win at level 1. I mean, a PT boat killing 7 destroyers?
Wow, I should head for Japan and just get the whole country to
surrender! I'm just starting to play at level 3, and it seems a bit
better -- we'll see...
