In case you were curious, your game plays perfectly on the C64 Ultimate. I played it in NTSC. After the first game, I needed to get out my joystick with auto-fire. My thumb tires out quickly as I've gotten older. :-)
Thanks. Oh BTW, you don't need to keep pressing the fire button to shoot at the enemies, there is a built in-auto fire which you just hold the button to shoot one bullet at a time
Normally I do that in my games (except for enhanced Shoot Em Up Construction Kit/Redux games), but only if there is a hi score list, but I didn't do it this time as it was supposed to be a tutorial game and nothing too serious. ;)
