[HLUG] Herefordshire Digest, Vol 1331, Issue 2

I think putting an age would be bad
cos then slower kids sould get discouragedat doing younger kids levels,
better to put the icons in level of easyness,
so beginners start with the easiest and learn how to do mouse and keyboard 
etc.

PS
Please include SOKOBAN
its the best game I know,
simple to explain,
mind manglingly hard to play at higher levels!
