I have heard mention of various servers that allow folk to play games across
the internet, chess, Diplomacy, etc. So let's gather this info here. If
you know of one of these critters, please tell us where, what, and something
about how good it is if you've used it.

I haven't heard of those particular games on the internet, but there are such
things as MOOs and MUDs. If you use jughead to search for "LambdaMOO" you can
connect as "guest" and try it out. Since language can only describe by
comparing to something known, I would call MOOs indescribable except for the
fact that you might consider it a game. If you try it, be sure to mlook me up
with "@who slim-2".

At UM, I've watched several colleagues play "Bolo" (tank battle game)
on Macs over the Internet with people form around the state (and I
presume around the country). Seems to go at a fair clip, you may
form alliances, build barricades, forts, and roads, etc. Anyone else
seen this game?

Bolo is an incredibly popular game for networked Macs.

Is BOLO available for DOS machines. I have seen the game for the MAC's,
but never for DOS. How about for x clients?

Multi-User Dungeon is one meaning, I believe.

i heard multi-user dimension, which i think is more accurate. the way
I describe them to people is that they are like the Zork games, but much
bigger and badder :)

you can get info about diplomacy by sending the message "help" to
judge@morrolan.eff.org
no quotes around 'help' and help is the message body, subject doesn't matter

Judge@morrolan.eff.org seems to be a dead address. I sent them a help
query almost a week ago, and no answer has come winging to me.
