Just what computer games need - a little extra flesh and blood.

The Wireplay multi-player games network is being developed to allow gamers to 
play against human opponents nationwide. Anyone with a modem & 486 (or higher) 
PC will be able to access the service. The software is free, and there is no 
monthly charge: all you pay is a special new national rate   2.5p a minute 
(i.e. ukp1.50 an hour) at evenings and weekends and 8.32p a minute (i.e. 
ukp5.87 an hour) during the day on weekdays. 

Wireplay allows you to play against friends, or to challenge complete 
strangers nationwide. There's also a paging service built in, so you can go 
off-line and wait for a challenger to come along. The service will soon allow 
the creation of on-line ladders, leagues and knock-out tournaments. 

Games available for the preliminary trials include Doom, Descent and Bridge - 
plans are also afoot to add a wide range of other games within the next few 
months. Keen gamers are now needed to help shape the whole service. 

To register for the trials (places are limited to only 1,500), see the
