Subject: DrUnKeN mAsTer!!!'s games / reply to Andrew
1. To DrUnKeN mAsTer!!!
It is great to see the fixed version of "Holy Shit!!!" released, and to
know that it is now "officially" gamma-released, and to see your 48K
games re-released, all elegantly "TAPped" and bug-free :-)

I will just .rzx it, and while doing this I will also look for any
possible remaining bugs, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak
(or two turkeys, I know you like this word, DM :-) ).
Thanks also for your permission to send all of the new releases to
Steve. One of these days I will prepare a package for him with all of
the MM/JSW-related files which have been released since the last TZX
update.

2. To Andrew
Thanks for confirming that the item in "The Right-Hand Edge of the Map"
(27) in Geoff Eddy's "Willy the Hacker" is unreachable. This makes the
game impossible to complete without POKing it. What a shame! Yet
another one... This must be the original JSW's curse :-)
Concerning the "secret" status of "Manic Mining Robot's Day Out" - in
the real world, even highly-classified documents get declassified after
a certain number of years. Would you consider "declassifying" the
information about the game (by putting it more visibly on your list),
ay in 2013 or 2023? (ten or twenty years after the release) :-)
Concerning the Easter eggs in your games: if nobody has mentioned so
far the incompletability of "Willy the Hacker" - which is something you
don't need any programming skills to discover - then how would you
expect people to find your Easter eggs, which (I presume, I may be
wrong) do take some skill to spot?
Incidentally, it is still a mystery to me how John Elliott's extra
cheat mode in JSW128 games can be activated... See, I am no hacker,
unfortunately...
