Game graphics are in excellent shape.  We pretty much have all we need with 
the possible exception of some final tweaking or re-working a few items (I 
would like to get all the seams out of the tunnels & fix the simple station 
pieces.)

Audio is also in pretty good shape.  We still need to decide whether or not
to keep the male voice or add some more female voice.  We also need the 
victory music added for the final sequence, and a few more explosions would 
be nice.

Program development continues.  We have changed the continue mode to 
proceed to the next game level instead of making the player play through 
each level until he completes it.  This has solved a number of other 
related small problems.  We have tweaked the attracted mode some more.  
Andy has almost finished the end-game animation sequence.  When that is 
complete, we plan to spend the rest of our time fine-tuning the traffic 
layout in each level.
