I don't think so.  I think that after-burner was the first fully interative

You can buy lots of great games (both old and new) VERY cheaply from
Big Red Computer Club.  Just pick up a copy of InCider/A+ magazine and
look in the ads.  Lots of the other mail order places have software too,
but Big Red is definitely the cheapest for the old stuff.  (They also carry
new stuff, like Out of this World GS -- awesome)

They also sell the Lost Treasures of Infocom, but for some odd reason it's
apparently GS specific from what I've heard.  You can buy that and then use one
of the freeware interpreters though.. you will get the big instruction book
and all of the data files you need.

When Radio 4 broadcast "Everyman's Guide to Mornington Crescent" a few
years ago (Part 1: The History of the Game, with Part 2: The Rules of
the Game to follow at an unspecified later date), it included what
purported to be an archive recording of a music-hall song about
Mornington Crescent, sung to the tune of "Burlington Bertie from Bow".
(The singer sounded remarkably like Willy Rushton, but I'm sure this
was pure coincidence.)  Unfortunately, I can only remember the first
two lines: "I'm Lord Mornington Crescent, / I'm highly unpleasant..."

Easy.  A feint on the blind side to Hackney Wick will provide cover.

Remember, the game was started with Mudchute...

Now this is a curious move and does indeed produce a very strong
position.  However, David failed to realise that Lufthansa currently
have a special offer on flights within Europe and this allows me to
counter with:

 Now Paul has fallen into the rather obvious trap laid for him
(remember, you've come via Heathrow!), the Streifenkarte manouevre
should swing the game heavily in my favour. With the delays on U3, I
think this should put me in a rather strong position.

Just an inquiry here.  Would "Chunnel" be a legal move in this situation?
Meaning as a -response- to New Delhi, not "instead of".

Here's a short summary of the new year's game:

Ken Johnson     : Mudchute
Paul Taylor     : Westminster
Ken Johnson     : Gloucester Road
Richard Taylor  : Turnham Green (the "way out")

Well, Ken starts very solid, but Richards move takes the speed out
of the game and into the moves...

David Wilkinson : Ravenscourt Park
Lewis Foti      : Tower Hill
Graeme Hodgson  : Cyprus
Ken Johnson     : Beirut (where the Town Hall used to be)
Graeme Hodgson  : Heathrow Terminal 4

Neither David nor Lewis could stop the game running out of London,
and Graeme and Ken are now busy in the Eastern Mediterranean, then
Graeme jets back...

Paul Rock       : Victoria via air & Gatwick Express

Paul uses the air again, too bad for him, because I get the chance
to perform this triple one:

Frank Schmidt   : Helsinki Helsinki Helsinki     :-)

Remember that, if this move fails, the game continues in Murmansk.
