I don't recall the name, but the board was set up the same as the Activision game. It was played using a CDC-721 touch screen terminal. Does anyone else know of an older version of this game? It might be interesting just how far it (the computer version) goes back. -- Mike Temkin ...!{ihnp4,sdcrdcf,hplabs,psivax,ttidca}!csun!mst Cal. State U.
