Hey, you did that too? I just released to this group my own mousetext-
graphics version of Super Star Trek (written in 1995), about a month
ago :)

The disk also has a crappy action game (really, a bad programming test
of the mouse) called Operation Mouse.

.. Your Eamon idea is interesting, but I'm not sure how user-friendly
it might be if it increases the number of jumps you have to make
between mouse and keyboard. I guess it depends if you could turn more
typical commands into buttons than just directions, so that a person
could play without leaving the mouse for significant periods of time.

I'll certainly be interested in checking out your stuff when you get
your site up. I hope you'll accept my star trek game as an initial
trade... I don't have any trade-only stuff, only things I've given
freely before or will in future.
