Thanks for the nice review of Encounter, much appreciated :)
Well, I’m going to take a break of Oric stuff for a few months, but I did start a Dungeon Master clone quite a few years ago that I’d like to finish and release. I now do have all the bits and bobs required to make the game, I just need to come up with a way to make a nice to play experience on a machine that only have a small keyboard and no mouse :)
