Syncytium was a compilation of games and utilities by Andrew Collier, with some contributions by Ian Collier. Many of the programs were previously unreleased, others had been featured in places such as Fred magazine (but of the ones that did, some were enhanced versions).

Highlights include Pipetris, a GamesMaster game based on the “falling block” bonus round of Pipe Mania (which actually was missing from the official Sam version of Pipe Mania); On The Tiles, a BASIC puzzle game; and Ian’s Play command, a Sam implementation of the 128k Spectrum’s Play command (including about an hour of demonstration music from a variety of PD sources).

The compilation sold literally some copies.
