Tandy allowed for two joysticks, with 2 buttons each, GW-BASIC gives support for this. While the buttons are not used in this simple game (it would've been cool if I made it shoot bullets or lasers!), this shows that both joysticks have proportional input. 3 digits of accuracy in each. That's pretty amazing for the time of the Tandy 1000. This is likely one of the first two player games I've ever made.

The game runs significantly faster in the PC-BASIC emulator than the Tandy 1000 SX I used to program it.
