If your into those tactical combat games I would recomend Death By
Starlight.   A game of Space combat with diffrent types of ships and
crew members with varying degress of skill (customized by you) in 6
diffrent areas.  The games is run by Twin Engine Gaming. They have a
web page at www.twinengine.com.  They are still offering the free
start up shown on the page.

I highly recomend this games to anyone that likes tactical games.
I've been playing almost a year (bout 25 turns) and am currently the
points leader in scoring.

I know that CTF 2187 is still running having recently recived a flyer
about it after responding to an article I saw in the Play By Mail
Report.  They have a players produced web page that I can give you the
address for if you need.

Hope this lengthy message helped.

Eric
