And I'm sure you can tell me that you didn't love playing DE, Joltima (well I
didn't like that one), and LD2?  The next update of Ash still isn't out
(except to us lucky beta testers) while CrASH was out in Alex's time of need
(around Christmas!)

agreed again (but I like Martin Hock's better)

SameGame _WOULD_ but it wasn't worth it to try and pull it off in Ash

Only if you walk, type, and see in your sleep

Sure, CrASH is the product of "85 shell-like" development.  But as I stated
earlier, CrASH's making had a purpose.
