Befruited is a similar type of game, but there's something about the sliding of the rows and columns in Befruited that makes it easier, at least for me, to play the game.

In this age of Wikipedia, it seems like the need for fansites for classic shows is disappearing. So here's to Pete and his site, and all the other fansites like it still out there, cranking away.

More than ten years before than the digital TV transition finally occurred, this TV was "digital ready." Sadly Philips left the U.S. TV market in 2008. I had forgotten this ad, but the ad and tagline came flooding back after one viewing:
