I'm sort of in favor of the net.micro.games (or was it .games.micro?), but with several reservations: (1) I'd like to see other software & ideas swapped besides just games, tho I do like games a lot more than I enjoy paying Radar Shed for them (2) What about compatibility between various machines? I'll answer some of that 'self: We can swap concepts & ideas about game structures, rules, graphics, color, sound, joysticks, etc., without passiing 100 lines of BASIC for one particular machine. Recall when I suggested, 2 weeks ago, a subgroup for all "color" computer users (CoCO-80, C=, Atari, Wormcore), since all these machines are characterized by interactive color graphics and sound? (3) <begins at "Recall above> I think that maybe the two subgroup ideas could be merged -- tho it raises question of games for B&W machines (Trash, IBM, & all Z80 boxes). (4) Anyway, we need another newsgroup or two under micro. mike k
