I don't know of any mailing lists.However I'd -really- like to get some people
testing and finding bugsin the classic computer games i've ported.
it's really hard these days to find testers willing to play text adventures,or text
based versions of trek. :(
Right now I have two such games in desperate need of testers (one moreso than the
other),they can all be downloaded from
http://trek7.sourceforge.net
trek7 is a classic 70's game originally on PDP then ported to vax, and now available
for PC, vax, and linux.
but the one I really need tested and bugs found is the classic game "The New
Castle"which is available from the same place for PC, MAC, and linux (sorry no vax
version exists any more).
Although I'd really love it if someone could make trek7 network playable on pc, mac or
linux again (linux is probably the most likely there) or even vax. and to me was, is and
always will be the best trek game ever made (yes, far superior to ntrek).
I know the ancient fortran (and ocr issues) cause major headaches tho....

Hi Everyone,
I know this is slightly off topic, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of,
or is a member of, any mailing lists that are related to computer games,
preferably older, but with the same quality as this list.
Thanks for your time and happy hacking.
