After I put all the games into the timeline, there was just enough to make 5 episodes. I wanted each show to run for at least 15 or 20mins, and there was barely enough, so I went back to the list of games I found in Aladins EAB archive, and sure enough, found a whole bunch of extra games to pad out the shows. Thats when I went on the Jet Set Willy rampage, and filled in part 3 with most of that. So this left the rest of the games for part 4 and 5. This one (Part 4) looked a bit shabby, so I added a few more games to boost up the appeal, including the Star Trek game. Interesting note, you might not think the star trek game is a rip-off, but the basic map plotting and gameplay is almost identical to the BASIC game 'Trek'; released in the 1970s.
It goes without saying that Raid 1, 2, 3, 4 are rip-offs, but they were almost the last thing to be captured for the series, as it seemed too obvious to include them. StarWoids was the final game to be ripped for the series, as this is a personal fav game of mine. I kept my original files from back in the day, and still think the music is fantastic. Not all rip-offs are necessarily bad games.
