AliceTheOwl Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re: The Last Word What one was that? Multiplayer capacity came much, much later. Heck, I wrote an online text game as my learning exercise in C, and posted it on usenet. I can't it any more, alas. Can't remember. It was pretty lame, and we had to connect through dial-up.

lemming Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re: The Last Word Well, there was something about alt groups being filtered away fairly recently, so I'm guessing usenet is still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeah, I see signs that it is still around, but on my last couple of newsgroups the worthwhile-content level dropped below acceptable levels in 1992 and I have never looked back, with the sole exception of one of the TORG game group archives (we were one of the main playtest groups for that).

Cancer Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeah. I wish I could find that old text game I sent out, but none of the archives go back that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Re: The Last Word Not busy, slacking. After turning grades in last Wednesday I slept a lot, caught up on some major housekeeping things at home that have needed attention for months, and slept some more. Also, at home all I have is a 56k modem that ties up our home phone line, which discourages on-line presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
