-
- Where did you think Advent first appeared, on a clutzy PC???
-
- Various SIG tapes have contained Adventure, (both the original
- version and later expanded versions,) the precursor of the ZORK
- series, (called dungeon.)
-
- Also recommended is MULTI-trek, a multi-player version of Star-Trek
- where instead of blasting aliens, you blast other players.
-
- Some time ago there also appeared Packman, centipede and (i forget
- what other,) arcade games, long as you had a VT100 terminal.
-
- Check out your nearest LUG, (Local User Group,) and get to know their
- librarian.
