2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

Able Builders is loosely based on such games as the Atari 2600's smash hit Kaboom, or the old
arcade game Avalanche. The object is to catch falling objects before they hit the
bottom of the screen. This version of the game, unlike other Coco games similiar to it such as Catch'em or Popcorn, however, adds several twists: The objects are being dropped
by a person (same as Kaboom), but the more you miss, the further down his whole
girder comes down...giving you much less reaction time to catch the objects. If he gets down too
far, he will crush you. On the other hand, if you catch a certain number in a row, you can
force the girder back up... and if you force it off the top of the screen, you proceed to the next level.
