I'd like to see that too.  Meanwhile, PLATO dialup access is only
$ 3.00/hour plus the price of the phone call.

From what I understand, NetHack 2.2 runs on the AT&T UNIX PC.  You might
try getting your hands on a copy of that.

	Santa Cruz has a true multi-user game that one of the
students wrote--- Multi-trek.  It is, in its current version,
a three dimensional star-trek type game with planets to get
crystals, starbases to get torpedoes, mines, and drones.  Up to
26 players at once.  About 10 types of ships.
				Addicting as hell though.

Hunt is a multiuser game for Berkeley UNIX written by someone at
UC San Francisco. Basically, it's 'run around in a maze and kill
the other people running around in the maze.' Lots of fun,
but not when you're the only one playing.

It's available for anonymous FTP from eddie.MIT.EDU; look in the
hunt directory.

The author of multitrek isn't very big on giving the sources out,
so don't get your hopes up. It also requires the System V IPCS facilities
to run.

I don't know.  A similar game was written on the Univ. of Il. PLATO
system in 1972 or 1973 by Louis Bloomfield.
