Thanks to the Milwaukee Computer Society, MIDI Maze on
the Atari ST will
be returning as a computer display for the first time in 14 years. For
those not familiar, MIDI Maze was the first networked
personal computer game (using the ST series' built in MIDI ports).
There was a game for the PET that linked user ports that was available
years before the ST came out. It was well documented in Byte magazine.
I never bought it because I had only one PET. Each player had a fixed
base and a roving tank. The goal of the game was to lob an ICBM on
the other player's base. You located it by exploring with the tank.
I cannot recall the name at the moment, but it's come up for discussion
on the list before.
Beware making "first" claims. There's frequently an antecedent.
