If you want to play on a laptop or palmtop with a monochrome LCD screen, there is an option to play in 640x200 monochrome mode. These screens commonly have the black and white colours reversed so this mode also inverts the colours back to normal. (5/7)

There is also an option to run in widescreen for devices with wide 640x200 LCD panels like palmtops. (6/7)

Running with the 'timedemo' command line option will play the demo as fast as possible and report your average frame rate. A fun way to benchmark your retro PC! (7/7)
