Fantastic! I downloaded them and they brought back some memories :)

Thanks a lot Daniel! "Demons" was the better of the three games, so I would plan on completeing that first :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Unfortunately, my old PC died along with the source code so I can no longer update it. I would have liked to do more block types and different enemy classes and such.. Oh well.

Thanks again for the kind words :)
I will have plenty of spare time over the christmas period to work on
it, unfortunately I'm unemployed as of about a month ago, but it gives me more time to work on other projects :)

Cheers,
Dan.
