- I second that. It's a remake of *Daleks*, that very old game from 1984 (one
- of the ones that still works). (Actually, according to Mason, it's modelled
- after a game on another platform, which is modeled after Daleks... or
- something like that.) It's very clear that it owes more to Daleks than to
- Color Daleks - just look at the names of the commands.
-
- We got the following Daleks's now:
-
- Daleks - b/w but pretty nice.
-
- DAleks (desk accessory) - rather minimal.
-
- Color Daleks - color, but... huge and simple, lots of sounds. I don't think
- it works in b/w either.
-
- Classic Daleks, my own version. Color version just released. (Sumex.)
-
- MacDrone - even without color, I like it better than Color Daleks.
