	Well, I should not talk about ongoing projects, since they
	might not get finished, but...

	I have been writing StarMines II. It will be an arcade style
	game with similar controls as the original StarMines available
	as a demonstration of the Sprite Toolkit. SM II will have
	larger than screen playground (1024x1024 pixels) with tiled
	background. The basics, like sprite storage, animation,
	scrolling, video syncing, keyboard handling and collision
	detect are about ready. Missiles, explosions, alien
	intelligence, map creation etc. remains to be done.

	It will probably be released as Freeware, perhaps even with
	source (C/ASM). Timeframe unknown, this is only a hobby
	project. If someone is interested in helping, contact me
	through e-mail.

	(Harware target: 12MHz 286 or better with fast VGA. Current
	plans no include sound, I am not an expert on that subject)
