My copy runs nicely in monochrome - though its harder to identify other objects
- particularly on the long range scanner.

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.
