   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  C64 Club Berlin   
      
   Another file browser for standard disks and mass storage devices (sd2iec).   
   The browser just works correctly in showing .DIR/IMAGE/MUSIC e.g.  suffixes   
   if the file on the disk/SD-card ends with .sid, .d64, .d81, .t64 eg.   
      
   Also, remember that the length of the filename/dirname should be max.  16   
   chars.

         ROCK MAZE (RESET EDITION)   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  Reset Magazine Staff   
      
   Lovely version of the rock and diamond game.  Just in case you need further   
   info, you move around collecting diamonds but need to beware of removing   
   earth and rocks falling on you, they are heavy and kill you!  Just a bit   
   jerky on the movement and animation, but immensely playable.  Take a go, my   
   first game lasted an hour (with various restarts) grrrr its soo morable!
