Also PSION chess runs in mono or colour, as does The PAWN, HIPPO BACKGAMMON, Black Cauldron, Crystal Castle (when it is actualy released - I used it at the PCW show and it seemed finished to me), Psygnosis Bratacus, I'd send a fuller list but I can't remember it all and can't look as my stuff has been sent home for the University xmas break - I'll try to compile a fuller one next term if people are interested.
