Hey, I was pleasantly surprised to see my old "Wizard's Fire" game on the list. I wrote the thing as a learning exercise back in the days of the 128K Mac to get familiar with Quickdraw and how to handle some graphics problems using only integer math. We were writing a Logo program for kids, and the same line drawing routines that dropped the "fire" in this game went into the turtle's line drawings.

There was a day when it was the most downloaded Mac program -- of course that was also the day when downloading meant CompuServer, GEnie, or your friendly neighborhood bulletin board.

May need G3 Throttle on fast Macs, because it runs under OS9, but a bit fast though.
