If you are frustrated and just want to blast something, play xsoldier.
If you are a too-far-gone "I would rather die if I can't make a high score"
gamer[1], play tenmado (no high score list yet, but I am readling the libdb3
manual to implement it).  I do _not_ recommend zblast.

None of xsoldier, tenmado or zblast requires a mouse.  In fact,
you can't use a mouse in any of them.

You are not one unless you can get 300,000 points/stage on average in tenmado.

Better just encrypt it all in your head :-).
