Subject: Re: More sound in BeebEm

My choice would be more glitchy sound without a delay. Reason is that I
mainly use BeebEm to play games, so timing is important. Having the "woosh"
sound 1 second after I fire a shot would distract me a lot. Not to mention
being warned for an enemy attack a second too late.

But of course, the best of both worlds (how about a menu option to select
between the two?) would be best.

Success,
Mark.
