RE: CMG (was: Converting Star Castle to Armor Attack)

I looked in the archive but I get an error message from the search engine.

                ht://Dig error

                htsearch detected an error. Please report this to the
webmaster of this site. The error message is:

                Unable to read word database file
'/home/downin/public_html/htdig/db/db.words.db'
                Did you run htmerge?

Maybe a repost would be helpful (or is that vector-spam?). Why didn't
someone
do this project before that crappy Multi-Pac thing-a-ma-jigg?? :-)

By all games do we mean (standard RevB/K):

        Armor Attack
        Ripoff
        Star Castle
        Solar Quest

and those with difference architectures????

        Boxing Bugs
        Cosmic Chasm
        Space Wars
        Speed Freak
        Barrier
        Star Hawk
        Tail Gunner I and II
        Sundance
        Warrior
        War of the Worlds

In great expectation of the CMG and CMSB,
