Comments:

• I maintain Xgalaga for Debian (but do not want to maintain it as the upstream maintainer), and have been unsuccessfully trying to contact Joe Rumsey since 1999 when his web page went away, and mail resume services started bouncing. The Debian package contains security fixes, speed improvements, joystick support, and more. There is also a fork for beos at http://www.bebits.com/app/2652. -- Joey Hess dissertation.
• It appears that the homepage back up, with a new email address for the author. He doesn't seem interested in maintaining the game anymore. 67.78.216.40 05:05, 22 February 2007 (CET)
