Mine too.

Incidentally, Kong, what's your first favourite spice? Scary?

Scary is high on the list, but my first favourite spice is Doberspice, the unmistakeable aroma of a Doberman puppy.

By a programmer point of view WW:DIY is really a masterpiece. You're never really missing something given the limited tools it gives you, and at the same time these limits work as an ingenuity booster for you to succesfully pull off a specific idea.
For example, I greatly expanded a technique that is used in the balloon fight game, and came out with a stunning parallax scrolling effect.
I even used it to remake the ExciteBike game, and made it smooth instead of the blocky mess it originally was.

Fantastic game, the only reasons that kept me from playing day and night were that I had too few game ideas and my drawing skills are way below ground.

Phantasy Star moves into the next round.
