- Short: Catch the Horse door for OzMetro BBS

- The program was an old one I used to play on my TRS-80 back in the early
- '80's and after I had a look at it I thought it'd lend itself to a Metro
- door quite well. With the addition of a high score table so BBS users
- could all compete it wouldn't turn out so bad at all. Anyway, I'm glad
- I persisted, 'cos it's certainly a worthy inclusion on your doors menu.
-
- Actually, it's amazing how much of the original TRS-80 code is
- reproduced in this door. So many years apart, these machines, but not
- all that different when it comes to BASIC. (Although the thought of
- Porting AmigaBASIC code to the TRS80 doesn't sound like a picnic!)
-
- About the game itself: it gets you in, actually, as it's very hard to
- catch the horse, but not so much that it's impossible. I must say it
- was difficult to test the high scores routine. Had to sit down and
- actually play the thing to get into the high score table to see if it
- would work!
