steve@sunpix.UUCP ( Sun Visualization Products) (08/09/89)

  Here is a gaming survey my new partners and I put together. we are trying
to get a feel for the Computer gaming atmosphere to help us in producing
our first released game.
 This survey will be held in confidence so please answer the questions
honestly.

     I will post a summery to the news groups that show enough interest.

                                     Thank you for your help
                                             Steve
