Interesting compilation, with some nice little games. I'll echo what has been said before, in that I am amazed that the title game is done in 4K. It's so tight to get all that in, and the colour is excellent - a technical marvel. Dotathon 2 is an addictive little game as well. My high score after a couple of days play is 2678. I suppose there will be some nut out there who has got 10000 or something. But what a shame about scrolly stack. This is basically a cover version of columns, is that right? It's well executed apart from one thing: it's far, far too easy. What a shame there wasn't a harder, faster version, because this one has oodles of playability in it. Perhaps there could be an update by the programmer?
Anyroad, a good compilation, and well worth downloading from the cronosoft site.

    Ah yes, Mr GOC - you did Arachno Joe! I've just read the instructions, and I'm going to play this tonight on my Speccy. It's derived from Spider-Man on the Atari 2600, isn't it?

    Incidentally, that's where the idea came from, but it is *far* more crap than any Atari 2600 game could ever hope to be ! :( :( Note that the finished product is quite similar to Firetrap (which I only saw after I'd made the game).

    However, a slightly improved, but still very crap extended version, is due to appear on a ezine this January, so keep your eyes peeled if you're a masochist ;) !

    GOC, I've just been re-reading The Hitchhikers Guide, and I've realised what a shocking resemblance your posts have to Marvin :D

    That's a compliment by the way..
