Ok. I've added moderated "free for all" links to my "to do"
list. People tends to abuse FFAs, so the usual unmoderated
one would be a very bad idea (IMHO), except for a traffic
bait off course (the true intent of the original FFA). Or
perhaps BOTH? <g>
/public_html/links <-- moderated
/public_html/services/links <-- unmoderated
Any idea of what categories should be added? Should it
alphabethized as well? A single *really big* page or broken
into separate fixed-size pages? Or perhaps just a bunch of
assorted links just like our Arachne Hotlists? ;-)

Probably they refered to the copy-protection mechanism
(which do need the original floppy)? IIRC I've some old
games just like that. Don't know about digger yet, should
check it first, didn't have any HDD back then...

Should be more than plenty... Good music was a luxury when
all you had to play was just a lousy square-wave tone-driven
speaker. It tends to be too common to remember on today's
multimedia PC's which can easily play even a sinthesized
full orchestra in CD quality, except if deliberately made
to sound "computerish", or the gameplay is just too immerse
for you (read: addictive ;-)
