Any chance of getting this made optional?  I like playing
full screen and use the score to tell when a kill is made
while shooting around a corner.  This is *very* handy in
the large room at the end of level 7 for instance.

BTW, are the weapons that the main 'bot at the end of lvl7
available (or going to be) for player use in the registered
version?  The multiple warhead missles play havoc on my
shields but I'd like the ability to turn the tables with
that weapon and teleport.
