Gawd! I wasted soooo many hours playing Rescue Raiders. In fact, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck while I was in the middle of a hot and heavy game of RR: I was putting off both getting dinner at the dining hall and going to watch the World Series game, such was my addiction to that game. I remember feeling a jolt, calmly setting the joystick down on my desk, and headed for the doorway like it was some routine earthquake. Wrongo!
Anyhoo, I eventually completed the game and got on with my life. The cheats were total lifesavers: so nice to be able to teleport to the midpoint of the battlefield and dump some fresh troops on the ground.
Playing under the emulator is painful because of the difference in controls. It's like playing Defender or Tempest in MacMAME: it looks and acts the same, but the control mechanisms are sooooo off that you just can't play effectively.
