In case nobody has yet confirmed: DATON games were indeed written by Dave
Tonks of Sam Supplement games. Games included SLIDER, PATIENCE, STRIP POKER
(I think!) and dozens of others. Probably collectors items now.

He often sold the games at Gloucester SAM fairs and would often discuss them
and offer help and advice about programming and hardware. A very friendly
bloke, as was his wife Jean, who was often at the fairs.

I'm not sure what Dave's up to now, but he was one of the friendliest and
most helpful SAM people I ever met. (He wired-up a SCART cable for my
monitor, free of charge.)

Worst SAM game for me: DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH - Too hard to play unless you
cheat.
