This game is very probably the only truly good thing in the universe.

I was completely addicted to this game throughout the process of doing my dissertation. If I fail my degree, I blame you.

Very Cool Game. I really enjoy old style games. This is a keeper. The sound is classic too. LOL

Definitely got the music stuck in my head, but the gameplay I found to be pretty shallow. I'm sort of disappointed I didn't get the same thrill as everyone else. :) Still a fun play.

Wow... I could play this for a very long time. It's like my old craze with tetris. I only just stopped to say that.

Since posting, I've gotten 3 others addicted, out of the three I've showed. Really, this could've been huge if it had come in the early wave.

This is a remake of a highly addictive QBasic game I played sometime in the 90s. I cant remember what the game was called but it was ASCII as well. Definately a fun game! :)
