they are not full released games, then they are titbits; that's all.

alpha-copy of my List of MM/JSW Games on my hard drive. I can't tell
you the dark magic I had to resort to in order to obtain 8 and 9!

minutes ago! I have runaway quotation-marks in my HTML code, which I
have just fixed in my alpha-copy. Thanks for pointing that out.
So far today, I have reached Message 6353 (5th January 2008) in my
backlog, with 122 unread MM/JSW emails remaining. I was overjoyed
when I passed the James Bond milestone, and it feels great to be in
2008 at last!
I'm also very pleased that you now host the latest versions of _Willy
on a Transatlantic Cruise_ and _Escape of the Snails_ on your
website, allowing me to reduce my used storage-quota from 97% to 94%.
Something would have to go very wrong for me not to reach the
earliest point in my backlog (29th February) at which I can upload
the List tomorrow (Sunday), but since I now expect fewer tennis-
distractions until next Friday (the French Open draw), I intend to
push on as far as I can, and upload whatever I have by Thursday night.
