I think that's basically correct. Most of what's happening in gaming is the result of having *massive* amounts of computer power and video power available. The first mulitplayer-first-person-shooter I know of was on the Alto at PARC. I was *mesmerized* by that program. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
