- Yes, I have TREK28, but it is buggy! The two players are in separate
- universes and never see each other. Too bad. Anyway TREK24 was great,
- especially considering _when_ it came out. I've never been so addicted
- to a game! My roommate and I played it for literally hundreds of hours,
- to the exclusion of eating, sleeping and studying!
- I've always had half a mind to (re)write it or something similar in VGA.
- Do you think there would be any demand for it?

- I've never seen Ball Racer.
