HE IS SO RIGHT!
   When I firt got my Amiga 1000, GravAttack was the first pd/shareware game
I truly fell in love with. I spent a good three months or so playing the game
nearly non-stop.  There are seventeen levels in all, and I reached level 14 
before I got stuck, stuck bad.  In the instructions, the author (Scott someone)
lists an address where you can send $10 and get a list of the secret bonuses 
(play the game and you will understand).  Well, I sent the money and also 
included a kinda joke-hate letter, asking how he could make the game so hard 
and asking what was going on in level 14 (the gravity changes in different 
ways on each level, and I just couldnt figure out the gravity for level 14).
He wrote back saying he enjoyed my letter, toldme what was going on in level 
14 (Im not telling), and that he knew (at that time) only one other person 
that had made it to level 14, a person from Electronic Arts!
   For any Amiga owner who doesnt have this game, GET IT! The graphics are 
not mind-blowing, the game itself is not very complicated, but I found it 
VERY ADDICTIVE!!!
   By the way, Richard McGowen, what level did you get to???
