- Marc,

- Well, I remember the service, but never subscribed to it. Speaking of which,
- how is the multiplayer-multicomputer that Jeff Potter is working on going?
- Anybody know? At one time I think I had a tank game you played with anothr
- guy on a 2nd atari, with them linked with a joystick cable of some sort.
- It was pretty cool. I would like to see more of those games, having
- several 8 bits myself.
