Your Game - review of the competition games: Courier 2. The Lost World, Manager, The Dome, Abe`s Mission, Mine, Super Mario Bros.

 Well, the first and only
a one-of-a-kind competition "Your Game"
2002". Of course, it’s not for me to judge whether

was a success.  People willingly order CDs

next year fund! Thus, we will
support game development on the Spectrum
at least somehow, and not on complete altruism,
as it was all along. Understand this!"
