I think "ILTDN" was also a cheat code for one of his games (can't
remember which - either Psycastria or Sphere of Destiny). I remember
seeing in a copy of Micro User that Gary Partis had given up games
programming to become some sort of "consultant".
BTW anybody ever complete SOD (and believe me it was a complete sod)? It
had an interesting ending ...
