Message-ID: <555@voder.UUCP> Date: Mon, 10-Dec-84 20:09:00 EST Article-I.D.: voder.555 Posted: Mon Dec 10 20:09:00 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 13-Dec-84 01:45:29 EST References: <256@utcs.UUCP> Organization: National Semiconductor, Santa Clara Lines: 30 How about a net.games.video.questron? There are plenty more interesting games to talk about in this newsgroup...like Pac-Man, fer instance. I just finished Pac-Man yesterday after many months. It is the greatest maze adventure in the universe (of Timex Z81). It looks a lot like Jawbreaker but has *much* better screens and has an endgame which is well worth the time to play it. I hate games that require ages to play and then say "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE VANQUISHED THE EVIL ZULAK AND HAVE SAVED THE UNIVERSE! WATCH FOR BOGUSADVENTURE 2 FROM TOTALLYAMAZING SOFTWARE" when you're done. Pac-Man gives you a lot of variety in styles of play (you can move up, down, right or left! Plus you can die at ANY time!) And an entertaining display at the beginning, before you even start to play in which you get a precision drill display from the evil ghosts and then it prints the instructions ("INSERT 25 CENTS FOR 1 CREDIT") then you go meet the manager who tells you "5 TOKENS FOR A DOLLAR..." (well, at least the game next to it had class.) OK, OK! So it's sort of a joke. I just think its a little silly that any time more than two articles on the same subject are posted someone always starts in with that a seperate newsgroup should be created. There must be an awful lot of keyboards out there without a 'N' key! o o | \_/ -- Kevin Thompson {ucbvax,ihnp4!nsc}!voder!kevin "It's sort of a threat, you see.
