[general] new game -- phantasia

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (10/11/85)

Thanks to efforts made by Chris Robertson, we've just acquired a version
of a new game, called "phantasia".  It's sort of a distant cousin of "rogue".
It's notable for being a multi-player game:  everyone plays in the same
"universe", and different players can interact.  You'll want to read the
manual section for it before playing; "man phantasia | lpr" will print a
copy of it on the printer in 336.  To play, type "/usr/games/phantasia".
Reports of problems etc. should be mailed to "dmc" (the Dungeon Maintenance
Commission, a special account used for game maintenance).

Users are hereby reminded that games are provided on condition that game
playing must not interfere with real work.  This means, in particular, no
game playing in "office hours", 9-5 weekdays.  In general, if the game is
responding with annoying slowness, you should not be playing at all.  If
games are persistently abused, we will start enforcing these restrictions.
Please be considerate and limit your game playing to off hours.
