They're a bit more than 'slight', but aren't terrible either. The worst
artifact when playing the game is as noted by another poster, ie the effect
of the objects seemingly moving over an invisble vertical line. Also, on
moving objects, the 'wiggly lines' make the objects look a bit weird. Hard
to explain. :)

Damn right too. Well, it was until I noticed this 'sparking' sound from the
monitor. :(

Thanks,
