<p>I would like to second Mr. Howe's comments. Mr. Gilman's numerous games seem hastily constructed and untested. For example, see the games <a href='/other.dir/gs_chess.html'>Goldchess and Silverchess</a>. One comment was posted on that game asking how it plays as described and if any game-scores exist that can be shared. That comment went unanswered; it appears that these games were completely untested.</p> <p>Additionally, I agree that Squirrls don't represent Gas Giants well. Furthermore, the Gilman games have large number of piece types, but with only a few images. He just uses sideways and upside-down icons rather than making new ones. This makes the games visually ugly as well as confusing.</p>
