You can change the amount of guts that appear when you blow an enemy up by
editing game.con.  I find the explosions much more satisfying when there's
more flesh flying.  What you have to do is change the numbers after the
listing of each "jib".  For example, in the state standard_jibs section,
there are lines for JIB2, JIB3, etc.  Each one has a number after it.
Increase this number to get more of that type of "jib".  Decrease it to get
less or even none (if you set it to zero) of that type of "jib".  I like
to increase the numbers of all the "jibs" to about 10.  However, one
frequent poster to alt.games.apogee says he hates the eyeballs that pop out
of the exploding bodies.  I believe the eyeball is JIB2, so set that to zero
to eliminate the eyeballs.
