Dying Eyes 86, GlassCars v1.0, GtkTiLink v2.00_2.38-stable

Approximately three newsworthy items for you to consume this afternoon:
I love Dying Eyes. It's one of the best roleplaying games I've seen on any calculator.
I also, as many of you already know, love the 86 because it doesn't have any of that FLASH garbage that muddles things up so much for calc developers.
To this end, I was rather pleased (read: euphoric) to see that Alex Highsmith's famous game had been ported to the 86 by Andreas Finne and Sam Heald.
Download this. Now. Several times.
GO!
When you get back, let me tell you a little something about the graphics-light (see screenshot) Glasscars v1.0. Made by the previously unknown (there seems to be a lot of those "previously unknown" folk around recently) Matthew Roberts, this game for the 83 is a racing sim in 3-D. Featuring hills and such, this (demo) looks very promising as far as coding skills go. Download copies of this for Ion for the 83 and the 83 Plus.
There's a little program I like to call GtkTiLink and it looks like it's finally reached version two point oh oh. It supports all calculators and all currently available links. Download the old-school version for Unix or the new-school version for Windows - the latter version will require DLL's and additional files.
