I tried the columns game, but you're right - the colored blocks are really
hard to distinguish! The author was right when he said that it wasn't an
easy game...

I got my OmniGo about a month ago and have been searching for GEOS software
madly ever since! I've got several of the 'more common' programs - the ones
that are under the OmniGo links. Just recently I learned that most of the
geoworks software written for ensemble and the Zoomer work on the ogo as
well - except for some programs where the window is too big for the ogo
screen. I've tried moving the window, but have only had luck with
horizontal movement. Any suggestions?

Also, is there a WWW/FTP site or BBS that anyone would recommend for
software? I'd really like to be able to play Tetris on the ogo, but haven't
had any luck finding it with net searches...
