Steve Lucas is famous for writing buggy games. He has outdone himself with 'A Journey through Space'. The game is impossible to finish!

Of course I'd like to see it. I've sent you a PM. I'll type in the listings as soon as time permits.


I wasn't sure whether you ...

Re: Duplicate games & games that should be deleted

Please delete https://solutionarchive.com/game/id,8913/ and I'll update the older entry instead.
I'm not taking the blame for this one (even though I created it) as I thought Godzilla was by far the superior search term!

Re: Nine Dancers
