 Look for my other games on the internet, all free,  source code 
 included.  

 GemTris - a tetris like game.  I wrote this game to experiment
           with palette rotations.

 Poker Square - Similer to poker solitare

 Yahtzee - This game I modified from a really old basic text game
           that I had since 1984.  Added mouse support, graphics. 

 Mazer - Creates a maze then you get to watch a mouse solve it.

 Parachute - Cool game I wrote that is similer to an old ms dos
             game where you shoot the parachuters out of the sky.

 
 Some utility programs that I either wrote or modified to help me \
 write these games. Most of them are included with Wheel Of Fun.

 GIF2BIN.BAS - converts GIF files to BINARY data files which  you 
               can read them in to a variable, then PUT on the screen.
               GIF files can't be larger then 320x200 yet...
               You can modify the file to do 16 color pictures,
               Right now it seems to only work with 256 color pics.
               

 I wrote this game, and the others for my amusement only.
 I see a game somewhere and write my own version for fun.
