I should really improve the presentation of that page, and add the
features I kept secret until the release of Goodnite Luddite. I
might even write `trainer' MM and JSW games so that I can have
proper screenshots instead of ASCII text-diagrams... when I have
nothing better to do.
My first priority is to get Party Willy finished in time for the
planned April release. Part 2 is currently 47/64 - I meant to write
a room a day in January, but haven't touched it since the 16th (the
Australian Open, multiplied with finally setting up Internet-access
on my own new PC, has proved to be a major distraction).
However, I did code up the Part 2 title-screen tune, "A Wolf at the
Door." (Radiohead, _Hail to the Thief._) today.

P.S. I found Retro Gamer in WHSmith yesterday. I plan to write up a
review of the magazine in the near future.
