Another one is TelePong on the Apple ][. It was one of their very early
software releases and came with their original serial card. It allowed
you to hook two Apple ]['s together through either a null modem or a modem
connection and play Pong against a remote opponent.

I plan to exhibit this at a VCF some year. Maybe this one. Hmmm, a good
theme for this year's VCF would be "Networked Computer Games through the
Ages".


Hmmm...
