COULD WE CREATE NET.GAMES.ADVENTURE AND NET.GAMES.ZORK? Every week there are at least two or three requests for hints about these two games, plus the corresponding (generally multiple) replies. I think net.games should be used for novelties, as well as games that do not command such a large share of the public's attention as these two seem to.

It seems to me that two or three messages a week is not enough to justify adding a new group, but if they appeared I would read them. Bill Stoll

[] Instead of creating separate newsgroups for Zork and Adventure questions, why don't we appoint to willingly people to accept questions to about the games. Periodically we would post to net.games the names of these people. Tom Morgan

Good idea! And I volunteer to answer any and all questions about
BOTH Adventure and Zork (that's >REAL< zork, not those microcomputer
gyppo versions). In fact, I have an even better idea--give me
a week or so, and I'll post a complete and total spoiler of both
games. That should take care of zork and adventure questions
for both games. I have solved both Adventure (350 out of 350,
Adventure Grandmaster, Carried off into the sunset, etc) and
Zork (585 out of 585, followed by 100 out of 100 in the endgame,
Reach Nirvana, Ultimate Riches, Rank of Dungeon Master, etc).
