Ah, Nibble. I loved that magazine. My first ever published game, on any medium, was in the June 1984 issue. I had three other games published in Nibble magazine, all of them in Decembers 1986, 87, 88. They were Major Mayhem, City Centurian, and Treasure Dive. In fact, one of the coders at Human Head Studios, Chris Rhinehart, learned how to code in 6502 assembly from the Major Mayhem listing. In an early May 1983 issue of Nibble was a game listing called Quasar, written by Brent Iverson. He's the guy who ported Deluxe Paint II to the PC from the Amiga. :) - John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
