you havent managed to squeez a three player verison out of the sams screen have you the blocks are only attribute squares after all pity no one put letters on teh blocks so that as a line or more is wiped off you get a kind of scabble letter game to play for a bonus - and a bit of a wrest from joystick wrangling im amazed no one used the 32k sam rom and some algorithms to see just how many english words could be seeded from the rom source they fitted 700,000 on a sam disc for a spell checker for outwrite and secretary but no plurals pity it hasnt been moded for the atom lite bought towo from edwin and a comms interface get back to uk and find my keyboards have packed up!
