Suggestion: Pause button

[leek2]

What's your idea?

I could really use a pause button for this game, at least in the single player mode.

I recall a previous version having one, I'm not sure if it was dropped or if it was on some weird old DOS version.

None of the DOS versions had it but it's a good idea.

I think the best way to do this would probably be to model it on games like Doom and Quake - have the escape key pause the game and bring up a menu with the options:

* Resume game
* Restart game
* Quit to title
* Quit game

These other actions are already available but only through special keypresses that aren't very discoverable. So we would solve two problems at once.
