Let me say this, I am very impressed with this game.
I am still yet a beginer at this programing I figured out how to do
asymetical playfields with a small bug in it though.
(I do test out almost very rom that comes through this list on z26
mostly I do have Pcaewin2.6 but most of the stuff (like adam's stuff
,which I also think is cool) run's off z26.)
maybe one day I will have something to show on this list
