The waters of Usenet were once rich in posters. Then the Usenet
trawlers set their nets and devastated the population, leaving the
ecology in serious imbalance.

My sincerest apologies to Michael Pruitt, whose game was omitted
from the zip file posted earlier this morning (despite me allegedly
*triple checking*). Both zip files are being updated to reflect his
entry,
and for those of you who already downloaded the six-game zip file,
here's a separate link, just for Michael's game, "Unyielding Fury":

So that brings the total number of entries to seven, not six:

- The Art of Deception, by she's long gone
- Child's Play, by Stephen Granade
- Mechs, by Allan Crain
- Nothing But Mazes, by Greg Boettcher
- Sabotage!, by Felix Plesoianu
- Southern Gothic, by Mordechai Shinefield

- Unyielding Fury, by Michael Pruitt

Cheers,
