- Announcing the Rec.Games.Video.Arcade file servers !
-
- There is an ftp site for RGVA information. It is located at wiretap.spies.com.
- Look in the game_archive directory. There are currently directories for the
- cheat sheet (cheatList), a directory for the KLOV (gameList), a directory
- for repair hints (repairHints), and a directory for all the games hints sheets.
- As well as a bunch of other stuff.
-
- Andy Eddy, of GamePro magazine, also maintains an ftp site at netcom.com.
- Look in the pub/vidgames directory. The pub/vidgames/faq directory contains
- a mirror image of the Mailserver files, so you can ftp anything listed in
- the following Mailserver section directly from netcom.com.
-
- Please use ftp if at all possible ... The following two mailserver sites use
- email as their transport -- any messages they serve eat up time used by
- Georgia State's or my Fidonet BBS' mailing systems. 240 MKII requests a day
- tends to slow things down quite a bit.
-
- I have revamped the RGVA mailserver ... there are now two addresses -- one is
- for hints sheets, the other mainly for technical info. Use the following
- charts for help :
-
- SITE 1 :
-
- Address : musjndx@gsusgi2.gsu.edu (yes ... my email addr ... ELM filters rock!)
- Format : "Send <keyword>" *** CASE IS IMPORTANT *** (This *is* unix ...)
-
- Send <keyword> *must* be the SUBJECT of your message ... if you put it
- in the text body, I cannot process your message. Example :
-
- Subject: Send mk2
-
- Keyword Description
- ------- -----------
- auction Steve Ofoz's "Buying from an Auction" faq
- cheats The latest copy of the Definitive Arcade Games Cheat Sheet
- help The RGVA Mailserver and FTP guide (from the FAQ)
- klov The latest copy of the Killer List of Video Games

-
- Please note that the cheat sheet and the klov are VERY LARGE ... if your system
- or mailer can't handle 100kb+ messages, they will bounce and be returned to me
- as undeliverable. Undeliverable messages will be killed.
-
- I have been having problems with my filter lately, so if you don't get a file
- you requested within 24 hours, please email me and let me know ...
-
- Site 2 :
-
- Address : rgva@gisatl.fidonet.org
- Format : "Request <keyword>" in subject, "Mail-to: <your email address>" in
- text body. The mail-to line is most important ... gisatl.fidonet.org
- gets uucp bangpaths for addresses and needs internet addresses for
- outbound mail.
-
- Use the following keywords for your requests :
-
- Keyword Post
- ------- ------------------------------------------------
- help This posting (ie ... instructions).
- pinouts A list of the current entries in the pinouts/switches archive.
- cheats Directions on where to ftp the Cheat Sheet.
- manufacturer The list of arcade games manufacturers.
- parts The list of sources for arcade games parts.
- nostalgia The folklore list of easter eggs and other things in old games.
-
- Again, include the following line in the text body of your message :
-
- Mail-to: <your Internet address>
-
- Requests without this line cannot be honored as my inbound UUCP mailer
- DOES NOT pass incoming Internet addresses in any usable form.
-
- You can also request entries in the Pinouts/Switches archive. Simply use
- the filename for the entry you want (request the pinouts post for details on
- filenames) as the keyword and follow the instructions above.
-
- If you have any questions or problems, please email me at :
- musjndx@gsusgi2.gsu.edu or jdeitch@gisatl.fidonet.org.
-
