Ok, got tons of replies...thanks people! I won't be able to sift through them all immediately, but will reply to you within the next few days. Sorry to all who bounced with the address I gave...it never bounced before... maybe using reply will work--but if it doesn't, use the address I give. Some of you want to know about StarFleet and Computer Amubsh. (sorry for taking up net space) Computer Ambush is a Avalon Hill game...it is squad level command against another squad. You are given a layout and men (I don't think it's changable--must use the same layout and men), and are given an objective. Your men have different attributes as well as weapons specialty. It's a game for the SSI, Avalon Hill, Squad Leader people out there. Star Fleet is the game that is similar to the shareware startrek. It is, I suppose much better polished. Don't expect graphics, because there aren't much. It was a lot of fun for a few of us on my floor...vying to become the first Admiral. It's just you against a bunch of Klingons (whatever they are ) and Zaltrons (cloaking device). You have to kill them and you get a ranking at the end of each mission...that kinda stuff. ins_apw@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU <--use this address, not the UUCP one

For those of you who asked about how "we are going to do the exchange" or were just interested. The way it works is for you to send me email to specify what you want and give me your address...I will mail out your choices and we can exchange. Do not mail me a check until you receive the game. This is so that if you want something I've already sold, you won't be stuck thinking I stole your money. Keith, I've received your check and will mail out your games asap. King of Chicago is going out to Matthew Scallon. Hacker II is going out to Luke Hankins. Again, for those of you requesting descriptions... Computer Ambush is an Avalon Hill strategy game. You control an american squad in a small town out go get a german squad. You control individual soldier movement. You can play 1 or 2 player. Starflight is an Electronc arts game. It is supposedly their best selling game. It is about space exploration and colonization. It is also color for mac iI. Jen Piatek, send me your address and I'll mail out Ancient art of war.

These games have been sold to the first offer:
I have not checked any of these games out on my mac IIci, but they all
work on the mac SE (my previous computer). I know Bridge works on my ci, but
I also know that Flight Simulator and Sub Battle Simulator does not work on
the ci. Starflight also does work on the ci. Mary Binseel, I will not mail
you Flight Simulator or Sub Battle simulator since you asked me to check it for
mac II (I only have a ci availiable--sorry). If those who made offers below
wish me to check it for compatibility, please email me soon. I will not mail
out any of the games until I either receive a go ahead or a check (which I will
take as a go ahead). Sorry this is taking so long, but I keep running out
of money (I get 3.00 a day free instructional account at JHU) and am unable
to post.
