Chutes and Ladders is another long lost educational game to add to the GTW archives, and another which we know little about at the moment. It is assumed from the title that it is a kind of Snakes and Ladders … Continue reading →
Thanks to Charles Haley for digging this one back out for us. Cilo is a very early preview of a single screen space shooter which doesn’t do a great deal at present. Essentially it just allows you to shoot a … Continue reading →
