    Is there anyone else here encountering problems with playing shoot em up related games with arrow keys? Normally I would hold down the Z Key to auto fire in and occasionally use two arrow keys to move a player diagonally. However, with both Acer Laptops I use, which is the Aspire one and the Aspire 8930G I have experience with, there is a problem with that where, if Z key(or something else) is being held down, then the right key first, and then the down key second, the down key won't respond. Same thing does with down key first, and then right key while holding the Z key, right won't respond.

    I took out an external USB keyboard hooked it up with the laptop and tested the game with it, and did not encounter any problems.

    So just my guess that it may be a hardware issue, so I don't know if there's any way solution to this problem or not other than a work around I just did.
