	Actually, I probably overstated the "trick" case...you're right,
Zork it wasn't.  Mostly I just got frustrated by one major thing:

	The damn time I found the "big gun ship" and the game just made me
fly around and around it aimlessly, without being able to tell it to come
back to base with me.  Grrr....and after one of the hardest dogfights I'd
ever won.  I was angry that no one, not your mission briefer, not any of
the escorting pilots, not your wing man, NO ONE, told you how to get it to
come back to base with you (it's not a comm option either).  Plus, what
was with the "moving target", which you feel compelled to chase around and
throuigh the ship, never to actually catch up to it?
