I've been wanting to play this again and I can't read my shovelware CD properly anymore that had this on it (Over 1000 games, 2 CD's), and I no longer have access to the webserver when I was still together with my ex which had the thing archived as a 7z. Would anybody happen to have this simple freeware game at hand?

Trying to google search this thing is almost impossible because of the generic name and all the non relevant search results from the common keyword. The game itself was basically a tech demo for a simple game engine and audio system and was packaged with alot of shareware\freeware compilation discs and possibly posted on BBS's too.

I have some "1000 Games" CD that I've never looked at. I'll check and see if it happens to have Spin on it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Hello there:
This freeware game is @ link removed, original file spin_v13.zip , you must see the html sourcecode to copy, then paste in another tab or window to get it.
Have fun!!

I should also mention the SLL2.MOD file in here is improperly ripped. I somehow managed to track down a proper rip of it though:

There's a lot of modified variations of SLL songs. I'm particularly annoyed by the ones with sample texts replaced with some "history" as well as one that changed some instrumentaiton of sll7

Woah that v13 SPIN has a different HUD and a much more stable Varmints audio engine.

I'm glad I found this.
