Reminds me of the platform game "Flood".  The protagonist was a "wee
green blobbie", last survivor of its species, that had to crawl out of
flooding sewers full of monsters and gruesome remains of all the other
blobbies, collecting garbage along the way (never mind why).  There
were 50 levels to the game, getting harder and harder all the time.

Once you got past all the levels, either by really completing each of
them or by guessing the correct cheat code, you were treated to a
final animation.  It showed the blobbie climbing straight up the
inside of a great vertical pipe, reaching the top, climbing out of the
hole there, finally standing on the surface, and then..

Ah, yes. Spent a *lot* of time with that in front of a friend's Atari
ST... really liked it, too.

OH, right! I remember now! Shit - I'll yet have to get an ST one of
these days. Or are there any *good* emulators around?

Oh. Probably should have mentioned it, but one tends to forget ;-): I'm
running a Linux-only machine...

I think I'm gonna have look at STonX, or is there anything better out
there? 

Would be ideal to grab some hardware, though. I guess it's time to go
root through the local used-hardware stores again...

Ooops, sorry. I don't know much about Atari emulation on UNIX but I'd be 
very surprised if nothing good exists for that.

I gave mine a few years ago... Damn... Gave it! *sigh*
