@benjedwards Andy mentioned Everett Kaser - I've heard of that guy before! One of DOS shareware's somewhat more prevalent names, still in business to this day selling updated versions of his logic puzzle games. That's a really cool connection.

@wildweasel yeah, and his Hearts and Bones game on the 200LX is excellent
