	Oil Landers is port of Stellar-7 for the IIgs, and Bulla is something
like the old ACS/FTA Demo disk. That is, a collection of various unrelated demos
you select from a menu, almost like the X-MAS demo in a way. Apparently "Bulla"
has a Super Mario Brothers (or World?) type of game on the demo disk. Remeber 
though that these are _unfinished_ works, just like Bouncin'Ferno, Blue Helmet,
Delta Demo, etc.

	Olivier Goguel gave his collection of unfinished works to Joe Kohn back
awhile ago. As I said, Oil Landers has been released to the IIgs world, but I
don't think anyone has seen Bulla expect for Joe. It may be used for another
InCider/A+ programming contest in the near future...
