Subject: Re: JSW - LOTR
I never received this message by email, so it's a
good job I spotted it on the Home page! It makes me
wonder how many other messages I've missed. I asked
Yahoo! to put the message number on each message that is
emailed out, but they have chosen to ignore me
:-(

It's not good to play JSW
loaded to the gills with cheats. If I'm playing on a
real Spectrum, I use only infinite lives if I'm
playing to complete, and only WRITETYPER if I'm
exploring. On an emulator, I use only snapshooting (I badly
need a save function for JSW128 on my real
Spectrum!).

Oh yes! :->

Lothl�rien.

A nice puzzle that.

It's great fun jumping
over the rest of the Fellowship from the bottoms of
the ramps! :-)

"Breaking", not
"parting".

A
candidate for the most difficult and mentally-damaging JSW
room ever! I might do a remix for a MM mass
collaboration game :->

I have the opposite problem - JSW games are being
released faster than I can type them in!
