Didn't Dave Tonks (of Sam Supplement fame) release "Mind Games" thru Revelations (or SamCo, whatever) - compilations of loads of 'stupid "games" written in Basic' as Aley might say. I'm pretty sure there was a Mind Games I and a Mind Games II ... for all I know it went right up to Mind Games XXI . Now, having never actually played any of the Mind Games games, I can't possibly judge their quality. However in the early days I thought the Sam Basic 'games' and things on Sam Supplement were the mutts nuts! But hardly commercial material D
