Hallo Barry,

Yes. I mostly use the scrollback buffer. And I simply love the ability to
tune every color on the (DOS) screen to my taste.

It had to be something like that. I do not speak assembler. I have adapted
the 4DOS-version Claus Mueller made to my tastes (colorwise and
user-interface), and added levels for different skills. It now ranges from
unbeatable to giving 4-years old toddlers a chance.

BTW, Claus invented and btm-coded another game, with high-energy physics
overtones, called Atomic Search. Have you seen it? Quite an achievement.

I got btm versions of mastermind, hangman, a reaction timer/game I once
invented and the above mentioned TicTacToe and AtS. Do you know of any
further games in bat/btm form? I am considering to upload a small batch
game collection to my boss.
