I received this piece of mail a long time ago, (when rn and mail was unaccessible from psych) and am finally getting around to posting it now. The content is obvious from reading it. ________ Please address all responses to sjm@purdue.edu, not me. Thankyou! ________ From cs.purdue.edu!sjm Thu Aug 10 16:33:39 1989 From: sjm@cs.purdue.edu (Scott J Mark) To: psych.toronto.edu!kirsch Date: Thu, 10 Aug 89 15:33:06 -0500 Received: by medusa.cs.purdue.edu (5.61/PURDUE_CS-1.1) id <AA05764@medusa.cs.purdue.edu>; Thu, 10 Aug 89 15:33:06 -0500 Message-Id: <8908102033.AA05764@medusa.cs.purdue.edu> Subject: Wanna do a little research? Status: RO We've got the game referred to in this article, and we are nothing short of addicted. I have no idea how big the CS dept up there is, but I was wondering if there's any chance that you've seen this. The game runs on computers from Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI) and if you know anybody in the CompSci dept they might be able to find out what the below-attached article is about. The long and short of it is that I'd like very much to add these things to our version of the game at Purdue, and (not having any idea how difficult this might be) I was wondering if you could tell me more about what was done up at UofT.

Yeah, and dogfight as well. Just wish I had more time to fool around ... >I have been told that there is someone who has built additional models >such as a Stealth etc... Does anyone else have this? Or know where I can >get it? Also are have there been any other modifications or additions? I have heard the same thing. Apparently, someone at University of Toronto has added a Klingon battle cruiser, complete with warp drives, photon torpedos and a cloaking device. Try chasing that with the Cessna! Rumour has it that a Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane have also been defined. Can someone from UofT confirm/deny this? (thanks fron me, too) ____ Reminder: Please respond to sjm@cs.purdue.edu !!!!
