am I stupid - I still ran the applet - it works ok as a Webstartable. Nice 
my pc:
2ghz Celeron
1gig of ram
Intel Integrated Graphics
Windows XP Pro SP2
Java 1.5.0_06
just ran the webstart, i too have been playing the applet…
the webstart was fine…the applet didn’t respond too well to mouse drags…
PS, seriously awsome game

Awesome. Very impressive technically, and great fun as well. I love it!
Fantastic, I really enjoyed that. Runs nice and fast on my Athlon2500+.
