After reading an article on the BBC's news website about the software in mobile phones I noticed that the game Repton has just been released on the Nokia 7650. Wondering if a Win32 clone existed, and having a little trawl around, the best I've found is over at MinionSoft. Download all of the Repton packs and unzip them into the same directory, then run the obviously named .exe file. It was unplayable on Win2K SP3 (flashing white screens every second) but worked fine on Win98. When I was a wee nipper at primary school, I used to play this before classes first thing in the morning and then after classes in the afternoon, pretty much every day. 14 years later it's about to become addictive to a new generation of kids, and not so little kids.
