<<is there really such a thing as a line eater??>>

Are there other multi-player computer game fanatics out there besides me??

Has anybody else played MEGAWARS on compuserve?? (I guess it's a
derivitive of DECWARS which I've never played)

Megawars is a multi-player real-time space shoot-em-up game similar
to star trek. It consists of 2 teams with up to 5 players on each team
(10 players playing for control of the galaxy)

I play MEGAWARS on compuserve, and I have to say it's kind of
addicting.  Something about the fact that you are playing against
other humans rather than just a computer has an appeal to me.
BUT: there are two problem with playing games on compuserve
	1. It's expensive
	2. I hate 300 baud, but it's even more expensive at 1200 baud.

Question: Is there similar games available for UNIX SYS 5 REL 2 ???

Weve got a game called 'search' on our unix machine, which is suppossed to
be a multi-player curses-driven real-time game, but to tell you the
truth, I've never been able to figure out what it's doing. We don't 
have any documentation on it, and It seems kindof buggy. And I haven't
taken the time to find the source and intrepret it.

Is there anyone out there in net land that has documentation/rules for
search - - - or a newer version??

I did see some source for search in net.sources.games but I didn't see
part 1 (only parts 2-4) - - Could someone send part1 to me?

I also heard mention of a game called 'multitrek' Is this similar?
