Carl, you`re wrong and do you know why? Because there are some games
in my game included that couldn`t be exist in 80`s. They are FROSYA
THE CAT, I BALL, and some others, I suppose. Plus remakes of games.
I`ve made a remake on Jet Set Willy, never were famous. :-)
Carl I ask you again: BUY NEW "DOOM III". It is no match for our JET
SET WILLY ofcourse :-), but looks pretty good... it is a remake of
DOOM I, it means that again Phobos and Deimos and again Hell,
including all old demons plus a few new and everything in sperb
graphics and design. Such a horror game that world didn`t met. I
think now. Why I shouldn`t make DOOM III, based on JSW engine....:-)

Glug//glug//glug... oh, sorry... continue... :-)

Carl, do you really think that secret rooms are very possible to
enter? I thought that only those who don`t want to live will try to
jump in to the air, to the left of the balcony...

> I am, no-one else is this fat ;o)

It seems that you don`t like your figure? Don`t worry, you can have
fat body and strong and beautiful soul. And the second thing is more
important to me.

> I will do, if you promise to make some more games this good!

Try to finish LITE FROSYA.

No prob.

I still don`t understand why.
I thought that they are rather errrr. secret.

It is downloading right now.

I don`t know why you couldn`t e-mail me. Use my second adress: if you
don`t remember: "igorekmak@..."

One thing: Carl, let me wait for a while, before I do it. Know why?
Because I want to delete all bugz in ZXHERO before it will get
somewhere out of this club. I didn`t find any bugz right now, but I
want it be 100 healthy. I find one bug: do not try to fall down from
the ELVEN WARRIOR, from the tunnel where the water is, I mean into
the shaft of REX, to the OLLI AND LISSA. You won`t get to the OLLI,
but you will die, when touching the end of the room. Don`t know why.

Carl, what rooms do you especially like?
Do you noticed that Brian Blood Axe situates next to the starting
position? That`s because of your person, btw...

Igor.
