The REALLY Up-to-date Gaming FTP Site List
|
|
Updated & Typed In: 30 May 1994
|
|
Coordinator: Theresa Verity
|
|
tverity@castaway.cc.uwf.edu
|
|
Compiled in ASCII on my Amiga 1200
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: My UWFGAMER account is dead, please do not mail that account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FLAME WARNING:
|
|
|
|
Tired of seeing the SAME old sorry FTP FAQ running around? Well I am!
|
|
This article is for everyone to enjoy, and this site list HAS been checked.
|
|
It is accurate up to May 30, 1994 (I checked them all).
|
|
I also grew weary of reading those tired old listserv/discussion list
|
|
FAQs. My version (with TONS of discussions included) will be posted in a
|
|
week or so (as soon as all my inquiry e-mails are returned).
|
|
I hope after I am gone somebody will keep these files clear of old
|
|
information and update it to reflect our Net gaming choices!
|
|
|
|
===========================================================================
|
|
DISCLAIMER:
|
|
If you don't see an active site listed, or you are the admin of one
|
|
of the below-mentioned sites (and you want your site removed) contact me.
|
|
I searched for "RPG-like" keywords in Archie and only found these, plus
|
|
some others I know about that are not listed with Archie.
|
|
|
|
Also, if a site name or IP number is incorrect please contact me at:
|
|
tverity@castaway.cc.uwf.edu. I'll be here for a couple more months, there-
|
|
after I might have another person who you can contact (I may be going
|
|
off to the U.S. Navy) to keep this list TRUELY up-to-date. Also, if you
|
|
decide to keep vigilant and update this list, PLEASE keep my name on this
|
|
file and change the date on it (feel free to place you name on the file
|
|
as an updater).
|
|
|
|
First I would like to inform you about the closing of a few sites,
|
|
just in case you used to be connected to the Net. Please do not FTP
|
|
to the following sites, they are confirmed as dead:
|
|
