This is not a flame at Doc or anyone else, but I really
wish shareware/PD games wouldn't use exactly the same names
as the game they are cloning.  I'd even be happy with
Bolder Dash or Moldy Dish.  It makes it difficult to
distinguish between illegal copies of (possibly no longer
available) commercial games and generic PD clones.  Joust
VGA and Mario Bros. VGA are questionable as well.

[This is a plea to PD/shareware game authors, nothing
more.]
