Didn't they also have a 64-byte contest a while back? Also, what about the maze generator? Ghost ANSI display thingy? Sniper (Ben Lunt) seemed to organize a lot of 'em with Adok's (sp?) help.

(I'll admit I haven't kept track either, and I've never entered nor probably ever will since my skills aren't good enough. My best "work" on shrinking was reducing BEFI.COM, which I basically rewrote in Rexx and Pascal for fun anyways.)

Tried under DOSBox under Lucid Puppy here, very very impressive. "Needs 486 DX w/ 8 MB RAM, but Pentium strongly recommended", heh. Man, have we jumped the shark (technology-wise) since then or what?!
