   Do people on this list know about Topologika? I tried to ask this
   a few weeks ago but our newsfeed is new and keeps telling me "No room
   on writing device - throttled".
   I know at least some of the Topologika authors are on the net as I
   see them posting from time to time so I assume they are in this area
   as well, at least as readers.
   Anyway, _I_ think Acheton, Fyleet and some of their other games are
   amongst the best text adventures I have ever played. (Certainly
   up in the Colossal cave, Spellbreaker et al category.)
   Don't know if the games are still available, actually, but imagine
   they are. If only they came out for Amiga...

Yes, there are a number of Topologika authors on the net Adam. BTW,
Fyleet has never been published by Topologika, though we could if
there was demand. The games are all still available for Acorn,
Amstrad, PC and Atari ST machines.
