I am. Well, that's obvious really.

Same here. Congrats. I was playing it all night and I was late for work the
next morning. Ack.

Helluva addictive too. Honest, Tim. I am going to register it soon...
 Colin Anderton got all but 3 crystally clustery things then died. I almost
pissed myself...

That last line about lanky and elephants breath on the text page was changed by
the evil Colin Anderton, as it used to say that his mum was a whore. :)

Use Shift+1 to 6 for the information. But it is blimmin' confusing.

Cured? Hey! That was my perverted phase. I'll never leave my darling mode 1
again... Blimey, sorry about all the spelling mistakes by the way. There were
bucket-fulls.

Ha! I told Colin that Silkworm was a MOD, but the little turd didn't believe me.
I'll give him a good kicking on sunday... Um, this converter, Stefan? Not PD is
it?

And it is. Slot, um, oh. Damn. Forgotten.

SCADS??? Games Master you berk! James "FLA" Curry doesn't have SCADS. Besides,
it doesn't have that SCADSy feel to it that all other games do...

I loved it. Pity Andrew never finished the story. I still have hopes though...

BRAVO!

With the wrong Phone number AND a spelling mistake on it.

Ask RJV, I assume it's him that's doing one. :)

Okay then, I will... There's a game, no, two games. Or is it three. Oh bugger.
Actually I doubt if I should tell or Colin MacD might be annoyed.
I dunno though...

I can't speak for them, but I'm just plain lazy.

Au Revoir, as they say in Frog-Land. :)
