Re: Interesting Asteroids 19V2000 Problem

This reminds me of an issue I have with my BattleZone mini. During the
game, the
score and remaining tanks bounce ever so slightly. It makes it looks
like vibration
from the "actual" tank moving. I kind of like the effect, so I haven't
ever tried to
fix it.
