Steve told me his name was Mark. He must have gotten the name wrong. Now it
makes sense.
How about connecting 9 Commodore 64 computers together for an 8 player
internet game similar to Artillery Duel? I heard two guys were working on a
game called Space Command that would play over the internet with the
C64nic+ cards. Maybe we can find out how close those guys are to finishing
their game and try it out.
