It's a little quiet in here at the mo, I don't think anyone minds :)

Speaking of that kind of game.... I have one, and would still be playing 
it if I can find the thing.... you can NOT save the game until you get 
into the elevator....in the first level... and I have absolutely no idea 
what any other levels look like in this game.  As far as I know, the 
only way to exit the game is to reboot too.... I first found it for the 
Atari ST.  Later, it was ported to and I bought it for the PC. 
Quadralien.   If ya know anything about THIS oldie, lemme know man!
There really aren't any instructions to it either.  Any time any text 
comes up anywhere at all, REMEMBER it, write it down...it's important to 
the little game :)  Oh, it comes on ONE floppy.
So...Quadralien...
