Dr. Plummet`s House of flux

Note:

Scott was currently working on a commercial version of "GravAttack" for
MicroIllusions. The game's new title is "Dr. Plummet's House of Flux."
Scott was almost done with the game when he passed away. David Boyles, of
MicroIllusions, said that they would complete the game and include a special
page of dedication to Scott.

Also..

Scott got his idea for GravAttack from several sources. The earliest was
when he was in eighth grade. I had a contract to do some software
development for government contract and was using the Air Force Academy
computer in Colorado Springs, CO, where we were living at the time. One
evening I took Scott with me to the computer lab as there was a graphics
computer there that someone had programmed "Lunar Lander" on and I knew he
would enjoy that. He was hooked! Several years later he told us that after
seeing that game, he knew he was going to be a computer game developer.
Even at that point he had several ideas on how to improve that game. Other
aspects of GravAttack came from several different arcade games. I don't
know which ones.

With regard to the secret bonuses, I doubt that MicroIllusions will publish
them. The new version does have lots of bonuses, however.

Scott started using his middle name, Hjalmer, only recently. Apparently,
there is another Scott Peterson developing software for the AMIGA and Scott
didn't want people to become confused. He even started to sign his drawings
with Hjalmer. The name Hjalmer, incidentally, was that of his grandfather.
