Taking apathy to a whole new lev

Well, I have to admit, I quite like it. May I make a couple of suggestions to finish it off? Well I'm gonna anyway!

Firstly, the scanlines look brilliant, but need to be extended to do the text as well - both the scores on screen, and the menu screen stuff - make the whole thing scanliney for consistency.

Secondly, why not use the area on the sides of the screen for better effect. The thing that springs instantly to mind is to find the bezel artwork from the original arcade machine, and plonk that in place (if you need help in that department, let me know - I'm sure I can find it)

I'm not sure I'm a fan of a 3D starfield behind a 2D shooter, but that is a personal preference thing

I reckon that looks loads better, though I would still consider adding the scanlines to the Galaxians logo, and maybe extending the bezel so the screen is full (rather than having the empty black space on either side.) What do others think???

Yep I missed that one rushed the logo and forgot the scanlines anyway I have now modified the logo.
I thought the bezel would look a bit crappy filling all the black area especially on my widescreen monitor so decided on the smaller border.

Many thanks for your feedback.
