RE: New Vector Games

Hi everyone!

Say, this is the first real thread I've read since resubscribing to
the list and it's awesome!

A color space wars? That would be too cool. Are you thinking of
running it on Atari hardware, if so, which type? I hear of Space Duel
and Gravitar mentioned (of course, neither of which I own!) How about
on Tempest or Star Wars hardware?

Well anyway, for a game idea, how about a 2 player Star Trek? One
player is the Enterprise and one a Klingon (at this point it is like
space wars, but keep the other items such as space stations and so
forth in the game). That would be a great game especially if it didn't
have to use the G08 monitor! ;^)

Keep up the good work, great thread!

Happy Holidays,
Tom Cloud
