• 7It looks like fun but its too hard. I was not particularly impressed with with the graphics and the game has no levels. Overall, its a fairly decent game.

• 8This game is excellent. It's small, it's fun... in other words: great :) The fire from the rockets reacts nicely with the ground. The steering is a bit more challenging than your normal moon lander. The only thing I missed was joypad control :)

gnolam
Born about a quarter of a century ago in the People's Republic of Sweden, Gnolam was abandoned on a remote mountaintop where he was found and raised by a pack of C programming wolves. When the pack switched to object oriented programming, he started wandering the world in search of enlightenment. After many years of tedious and unstructured wandering, an angelic choir suddenly appeared to him late one night and told him the secrets of life: 1) Never use metal utensils with Teflon® cookware. 2) The world really is against you. Yes, we mean you. 3) Your wallet is on the living room table where you left it, stupid! Thus enlightened, he went back to his native land (after a brief stint as dictator of Tajikistan) where he is now studying at LiTH, as a quite clever front for his secret plans of world domination.
