you have to have 1.5 megs of memory for the newspaper to spin at the beginning of the game!
ahhh...spinning newspapers, I wish there were more in modern movies, those were the days.....now its all automatic weapons, explosions, sex, swearing and crude jokes. Spinning newspapers were so inoffensive and kept one man in the movie business for nearly 3 decades. Did you know that? it was a guy called Edgar Carson who did ALL the newspaper spinning in the early movies...using a stiffened paper on the end of a stick which he'd point at a camera and twirl rapidly, he was a master at it...could do it in either direction depending on the directors requirements. Now I guess it would be a computer generated paper, the art of newspaper twirling has died out..and they call that progress!
