I found that there is a radar! You have to press the space bar to turn it on. Also, while you are flying an orbital with the joystick, the arrow keys will control the raider. Perhaps that's the "co-op game" you mentioned, but I reckon (only guessing, since I haven't been able to find a manual) that you're intended to control both at once. Left to its own devices I think perhaps the raider always goes in a straight line except to turn only when it reaches a large obstacle in the landscape. Playing like this I got to the second level which is coloured in a different, highly-saturated hue. I do have a soft spot for the graphic style of this game, although garish, it's recognizably similar to Black Lamp which is actually a very well drawn and animated game.<br /><br />Thanks for this blog, I like it a lot. I like that I can click through its pages, see a score of games I'd either never heard of or never been motivated to play before, and come away feeling the world (of videogames) is a little bigger than I believed beforehand.Danielnoreply@blogger.com
