Viktor Drozd had asked if anyone was looking for POKEs for a particular game, so I put the offer on the WoS forums and CSS.. The first person to reply (with a doable request) was MadMekon, asking for an extra POKE for Metropolis. Viktor obliged, and MadMekon himself provided an update. The moral of this (long! Ed) story is that if you're stuck on a game which currently hasn't been POKEd here on Tipshop, let me know!!
Added a copy of the official clue sheets for Microfair Madness, courtesy of Gareth Pitchford. I've not had time to transcribe the solution sheets yet - anyone fancy helping out?
