I like defender myself, although I've found that the smart "zap" bombs
no longer work on my new SE. I'm curious about Evan's comment above:
Here at Acadia, games on public computers, micro and mainframe, are
strictly prohibited. We don't even allow students to access network news
groups concerning games. This policy isn't particularly popular with the
students of course, but its been the policy for a long, long time.
Do any other universities allow students to play games on the public
computers?

Back to the topic at hand, if the game doesn't have to be public domain,
the original poster of this discussion should definitely check out
Dark Castle. Its *very* good.
