Ben released a new GBA game called”Pizza Hog”. This post is a release information and help request in one, but read more:

PIZZA HOG is a pizza delivery game where you are given a large city and must select a delivery route to the houses in need of pizza. All to earn some cash. Keep delivering and you’ll make more money. Run out of time and you get fired. I would like some suggestions for this game as how to improve it. Possibly a different type game setting besides Pizza Delivery? I want a concept of roaming a huge city with lots of gameplay options

Download the game, and feel free to help Ben out. Thanks to Ben himself for giving me the news on EFNET #pdroms.http://www.geocities.com/benstarksgames/
