those not familiar, MIDI Maze was the first networked
personal computer game (using the ST series' built in MIDI ports).
Are you saying that there did not exist ANY networked personal computer
games until the time of the Atari ST?
FAQ: First?
ANY time that anybody announces ANYTHING as being "first", others can find
examples of prior art.
Although none were ever significant commercial successes, there were
networked personal computer games on the TRS-80 (MODEL 1), Sony SMC-70,
and probably MANY others.
