Hey PLATO that would be nice....
I would rather play dogfight or see someone find the game I had written in
PLATOs tutor language called SPACE ATTACK....anybody remember the cccp
sattelites coming down on the cities?
Airfight was way to slow (where I was playing anyways) to be really any
fun....dogfight was really playable and quite fun...
