1.   Each player used keyboard controls or a joystick to maneuver a tiny ship capable of firing a stream of torpedoes as it slid across the screen.

2.   Switching to keyboard control, I e-mailed the Bic Corp. in Milford, Conn.

3.   The interface is pretty standard, and there is even an option that allows you to use the same keyboard controls as Mech Warrior and Shattered Steel.

4.   The interface is easy to navigate, and you can customize the keyboard controls and adjust the player difficulty levels for both the combat and adventure portions.
