I've only seen Exile 'working' on my emulator and not on a real beeb, so
I can't say that it's 100% okay. It looks fine, 1/2 screen, reddish
spacecraft with a floating spaceman. I haven't seen this famous water
bit... should it be there right at the start or much later into the game?

How exactly have you done this?
