At last report, games were by email or by disk-in-snail mail.

I can find no on-line presence for them at all other than their email
address on compuserve. John Ess, the owner, has a significant day job as
I recall and I expect that Dragonbyte is a sideline for him. More or

I was able to contact him because I ran across some old turns which had
the CIS address. I snapped off a query, and got a reply.
