Furthermore, it's just occurred to me that Bowie's last album 'Blackstar' was released two days before his death; similarly, Andrew's offering of {NAME EDITED} was sent out two days before the demise of this message group...

You're probably right - having checked back, Andrew himself used the phrase "parting gift" in his message.

BTW Oliver, you'd be more than welcome at jswmm.co.uk at any time - it's not exactly heavily trafficked, so you wouldn't have to invest a lot of time in partaking if you didn't want to. But all are welcome - the more the merrier! - and there are some great novel Willy-themed games in the Downloads section (all free, of course!)

Regards,
Ian

the David Bowie album Blackstar, which seems to have been an

Bowie's 'parting gift' to the world!)

I wouldn't be hugely surprised if that was precisely Andrew's intention. :-)

OK, if there's no great appetite for porting this list, I wish you all farewell. I've always enjoyed reminiscing and occasionally re-playing, these lovely old games, as well as some of the new creations.

Best wishes to all,
Oliver.
