This is me (lmm) again, I thought of something else

I also remember seeing a while back a multi-player space-type game on a
VAX called 'GALAXY' (i think that was the name anyway).  The machine didn't
actually have the game on it (or it was locked up) - - But you could read
the documentation on it. - - It sounded fascinating! - - I wish I would of
kept a hardcopy of it. 

My question:

Is anybody familiar with the program I'm talking about? - - I would like to
find some of the documentation (on-line help files or something) about this
game.

I've started writing a combination 'megawars/multitrek/galaxy' type game
for Unix, and am looking for all sorts of ideas. - - Any help (ideas,
suggestions, etc) would be appreciated.

Does anyone else have comments about available multi-player Unix games?
Has anybody else out there tried to write one?
