Microgames: Still Back-Filling My Collection

I have a pretty extensive Microgame collection, but that doesn't mean i've stopped my search to fill in the gaps. I recently chanced upon several Dwarfstar microgames at reasonable prices and added them to my collection. Still, there are a handful of games, included Helltank, that continue to elude me.

    I notice that you have Invasion of the Air Eaters. This was the very first first micro-game I ever bought, and I played it at school nearly every day at lunch time. Wish I still had it.

    Have you played Creature that Ate Sheboygan? Out of your gaps, that is probably my favorite. Definitely in my top 5 microgames (along with Melee, Wizard, Ogre and WarpWar, which I'm playing this week!).

    I never played it, but I loved the arcade game, Rampage, where you could play one of several monsters ransacking a city, eating the inhabitants and so on.

    I'm pretty sure I have a copy of "Fistful of Turkeys" floating around somewhere, if you're interested.

    Let's see...

    Prochorovka, Panzer Pranks, Helltank...

    hey, we're looking for the same games! Argh! Coises!

    (I figure you're collecting to be collecting the real games, but you DO know the Dwarfstar games are on their web site for download, right? Which includes Star Smuggler, Barbarian Prince and Demonlord.)

    Otherwise I see some very good taste - Star Empires, StarGate, original SFB, Security Station, Rivets, OGRE/GEV, Intruder... Your collection is frighteningly familiar. ;)

    BTW - definitely get Demons and Creature That Ate Sheboygan if you can. Those two are some serious fun, especially Creature.

    My collection in general:
