James,
Thanks for the offer, though I hope you have the chance to achieve what you set out to do. :)
robleong,
Oh? And only in the menu? Hmm.. odd. There were initial problems with mouse cursor lag in the menu but that was because I was executing a TileImage command together with a tiny graphic, but I found another method and the problem was gone. I haven't had much opportunity to run 'Sim Lift' on a slow machine yet. I'll let you know of my findings.
ENAY,
Definite additions to a possible sequel. :)
Hmm.. I have a few questions of my own:
1) When I run 'Sim Lift' on a slow, outdated machine running Windows ME (4.90.3000) it results in the error: "SimLift.exe is not a valid Win32 application" and fails to load. I notice that the file icons I created for the 'Sim Lift.exe' file etc. are replaced by the default windows icons for those particular types of files (evidence of an outdated file system?). For your information the 'Sim Lift' exe and accompanying installer were created on my fast machine running Windows XP Pro.
What needs to be done for 'Sim Lift' to run properly on the old machine? Do I need to install the latest DirectX drivers perhaps?
2) How would I go about making 'Sim Lift' into a screensaver? (Not that it would save your screen with that static background image). :)
Any help with these queries would be appreciated.
If you ever expand on Sim Lift, feel free to appropriate anything that might be worth appropriating from my game plans!

on my slow computer, the mouse pointer lags very badly in the menu screen.

ENAY,
You should add some 'yawning' and 'cursing under the breath' sound effects
