[net.news.group] zork discussion becoming overwhelming

dcn@ihuxl.UUCP (Dave Newkirk) (08/23/84)

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?

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!).
