It's very similar to Q*Bert, and a lot of fun. In general, each issue of ANALOG and Antic has at least one game that's close in quality to the one's you'd pay $40 for. It takes some patience to do all the typing and to chase down your typo/bugs, but you can get a lot of do-it-yourself satisfaction from it too. Richard Seltzer
