This thread reminds me of the good old days of 9600 baud modems and BBS sites, where you can play multiplayer games like Barren Realms Elite.  Build your world up and your armies and go to war.  It had a Risk style element to it and was addictive.

Drug Wars was a game we can play while we had time off on lunch.  All the system admins played it, until Doom came on the scene.

I remember playing a lot of Trade Wars around '92-93, or so.  Never heard of Drug Wars though.

Franco B:
Ah drug wars, that brings back some memories  :)

I used to have a version on my phone too which was pretty decent, it was a bit more complex than the old version.

Ill have to check those links out, thanks!

As for games that everyone used to play, the only game that was on the IBMs at school was the 'Tanks' style game with the Gorilla's throwing the banannas over the city at each other which you had to set the angle and velocity for.

We then got a load of A500+'s and for ages everyone was playing North and South, happy days :)

Yeah, easy to remove everything except your personal info.  I wouldn't touch Facebook with a 10ft pole.

Rather than removing your personal details (and photos) from the system, this option will merely take down your public profile, purportedly so that you can later return to the Facebook fold without having to reupload all your information.

Meanwhile, all your personal details are still stored and potentially accessible. They are certainly out of your hands.

--- Quote ---Facebook has done three things that are at once extremely innovative, extremely rude, extremely helpful, and extremely disconcerting:

1. They are collecting and republishing user data on a level not before seen by users.

2. They are allowing advertisers to use this data to reach these users.

3. They are not giving this information--information that has put their value at $15 billion--back to their users.
