I agree with this totaly.  Zshell works fine for what most people want it to
do...play games.  I would love to see some new games. A few suggestions that I
have are: Space Invaders (like the one for the HP), Solitaire, pitfall type
game... heck, any atari-type game.
	i would love to program them myself but i am not a great assembly
programmer.
