Subject: Re: BBC game

Totally non-technical this but thumbing through my games for my beloved
Acorn Electron, I noticed one was missing and for the life of me I can't
remember it's name. It was a puzzle game where you had to fit odd-shaped
blocks into a grid and you could swivel or flip them to fit. It's driving me
bats trying to remember it. Anyone remember what it was called?
Thanks
Colin Hill
