	Not worth it.  I bought, played, and returned the game about a
week ago.  The "new levels" are VERY similar to the old ones, with differing
surface features.  The new enemies look different, act the same.  The new
bosses offer nothing new to the game; some are even recycled.  The "eye-
candy" animation on the CD-ROM version is mostly your ship flying to and
from each planet.  The ending is dull.  Stick to the shareware version, and
you've got almost everything the registered version has to offer.
