special, with its We-Prettyish combination of an ultrasurreal
atmosphere and loads of quirky features. And the SE has been near
the top of Future Games for ages.
I hope it won't be too long before Role Reversal and Manic Person
are gamma-released! :-)

rather than putting them out as standalone titbits. That was my
motivation for making Party Willy a box-set - to tie up various
loose ends that had not previously been gamma-released. Not to
mention the `Easter egg' in MM: Neighbours - Allana Truman...
Since the SE removes as well as adds things, I hope to see the
original strangel in the box-set too, so that the SE may supersede
the original release.
