Everything by Berty. Especially Hamsters.
Top Banana and Big Bang.
And I really want to play Pleb Up Pleb Down again. |

All the 8 bit ones are either effectively (but not officially) in the public domain, or Superior still own them |

Everything by Berty. Especially Hamsters. Berty's been hard to track down in the past. I had his address from when he moved to Psygnosis, but since he stopped work on Posty it's been a bit more difficult.

Hamsters rocks!

Reckon this is him? *tries the website link*
The full registered version of Tags currently costs $6.00 Hmm. Evil American money, yet a British web host 
I suppose someone could ask on the forums. |

Reckon this is him? Hmm... the font and lack of apostrophes look like his work And he did use to go by the name of Flossy for a while, so McFloss and ElFlosso isn't too far off.

And I really want to play Pleb Up Pleb Down again. I have the demo of Wavelength somewhere (AU cover disk iirc), great game, and I used to have the demo of Hamsters. Also great. Never had the full version of either.
I do still have PuPd though, and it's an excellent game! |

You remember how Rich wasn't around here for about five months? That's where he was. And all he wanted was to borrow the stapler. |

I'm quite happy to do all the website stuff for this if it all comes off - I need a break from G&T stuff, and I've now got my weekends free
Which reminds me, we should do something about this Asylum compo  |

Dare I say kryten.acornarcade.com and ofla.info? Ah, but both of those involve real work
Actually, see G&T - I am doing work recently, but it's just all gone on that. I'm sure I can take some time off from it.
Which reminds me, we should do something about this Asylum compo And that, too
All we need is some sample newly-designed levels to get people started, and a quick compo page giving the rules - I would think I could come up with that.
Do you fancy doing a quick sample level as well? |

I reckon the UFOs have given up following Paul Vigay and have latched on to him. He's got some grey alien midget sticking a probe up his nose right now. 
Either that, or he's busy working  |
