About half of the net.games articles I get here are requests for help with adventure/zork/etc. They probably deserve a group for themselves, but the name should not limit discussion to Zork. How about net.games.hints? Dave Newkirk, ihnp4!ihuxl!dcn

I have seen references to several other "adventure" type games in net.games. I propose that the new group be named net.games.adventure, since adventure is a fairly well accepted generic name for this sort of game.

No,no....Call it net.games.frobozz

I'm not particularly opposed to 'net.games.adventure' [or whatever one may want to call it]. It seems to me, though, Brian Reynolds just killed forever any possible need for zork information.

I believe the volume of zork traffic in net.games is large enough to warrant a new newsgroup for zork fans. I think it should be called net.games.zork (what else!).
