Vgaplanets is now in NON-MS systems!! From: Mystro@c.sig.if used.com Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Greeting Fellow Warriors: NEWS!! The Top Multiplayer Spacewar game VGAPLANETS has arrived to non- MS systems!!!! The Java VGA-Planets Client Project (JVC), is making a client in Java, so it is possible to play VGA-Planets on any non-ms platform which has an JRE installed (well you can use it on windows based platforms too). For details: http://home2.inet.tele.dk/larsdam/jvc.html With over 50,000 registered players,naturally VGAP has its own private IRC (internet relay chat)channel,here are the details... IRC Channel #VGAPLANETS is actually a major tactical advantage against players who don't use it..not only is there expert *live* help there 24 hours per day but its the best place to actually run your turn when your allies or teammates are on-line at the same time! What better place to kick over plans and tactic's then in a *live* chat on a channel devoted to the game,naturally you can also open a private chat window with your allies or teammates but its extra fun to openly discuss strategies in the main channel in general terms and get feedback. Channel #VGAPLANETS also has Autobots in the channel,VGAP and Sentry..these autobots will learn who you are and give you extra power in the channel and they also keep data such as NOTES,NEWS,Files, and TIME data such as when your friends were last on the channel.It also one of the best places on the NET to find new games besides Usenets(alt.games.vga-planets). When you enter the channel,please note the help message you get from *Autobot* VGAP and follow its directions. Since we have well over 400 regular users (50+ operators)and GameHosts (Jurjens Arena,SSimms Navgap,J-mac's MotleyCrew,ratt359,SauronsD2,Banes Genwars)and many many other's whose players meet there several times per week..you can see why its the perfect place for players who are serious about their favorite game and why there's an advantage to making it a priority visit when you log-on if your serious about your favorate war game. :=) For new IRC users: http://www.foad.org/~vgap/ For experienced IRC users..join EFnet and then #VGAPLANETS Referenced By Up
