- Rogue, Hack, Empire, Larn and UltraRogue, to continuing work
- on its custom object-oriented virtual world called MAELSTROM.
- MAELSTROM is currently up and down depending on its testing
- status but is expected to be solid by late 1992. Members can
- also use MindVox to access a list of 10 different Multi-User
- Dimensions throughout the United States, Germany and Sweden
- (the latter two come with english-version toggles and various
- MUD's include 3-d graphics and POV player location charts).

- Notes: MindVox is the system of Phantom Access. It's very large
- and covers a wide variety of features and services that
- are included in signing on (Usenet, worldwide Chat network,
- online single and multi-user games, etc). The main focus
- of MindVox is on Cyberspace and role-playing. They have
- been covered in dozens of articles both hard-copy and
- electronically. One of the principle owners is a writer
- for Mondo 2000; most of the owners are ex-Legion of Doom
- and other older hacker groups. Overall its a very
- interesting place to hang out even discounting the games.
- All new accounts are offered demo-time to look through the
- system and get familiar with its features before subscribing.
