One of the best things about Curt King's game was that it was easily customizable. You could switch out the sounds and (I think) board graphics with your own.

I also believe there was a way you could add your own puzzles to the mix as well.

Yep, he was the same person who released Classic Concentration and Blockbusters, among others. IIRC he received a C&D pretty early on, which was a shame because those were strong efforts he put out.
Honestly, Bigjon was another big deal for me. The games he released were pre-Ludia, and that was a pretty barren time for official home versions of games. There were times where i wished he would have put more effort behind 2 or 3 games rather than releasing 20, but i appreciated the effort.
There was also a really good Scrabble Sprint game executed in DOS years ago. It had show-faithful graphics and was probably released somewhere around 2000.

As I recall, his response to the C&D was to tattle on a bunch of other similar game creators, which cost him quite a bit of favor.

I too was a loyal player of BigJon's games, maybe at the expense of a computer. His Price is Right game in particular was very impressive.

I guess this makes me a packrat. (Run the shortcut - I bundled in DOSBox)

Will Schmarder (I think) made a text-based WoF years ago with shopping that was very fun.
