Yes, Mindmaster was good, also Communist Mutants from space. Pity the Supercharger had gotten so expensive these days, it was a really neat little device.

Jelly Monsters > Cosmic Cruncher?

As a follow up to my Hal labs post, I also read somewhere(can't remember where) that Cosmic Cruncher is a re-programme of Pac Man/Jelly Monsters to avoid copyright infringement. Is this correct?

Thanks for the welcome guys.

The VIC I put a tentative bid on on eBay finished earlier for £82! That seems very expensive?

Thanks for the info Mayhem, I'll have to wait till i get a Vic before games but good to know you have some spares.

Best,
Chris
