Anybody played vegetable vacation recently? ha ha ha Yesterday actually. Still don't like it, but I found the disk (for which I paid 50p to retrieve from a local shop's bin of cheap disks) suddenly and thought I might see if it still works. Alas it does.

Arcade perfect, is it? Does it have the coloured strips? Eh? Eh?! Surely the coloured strips would be the easiest thing to get arcade perfect because of the ease of switching palette entries halfway down the screen? -Thomas
