reply-to: ji...@cs.uwm.edu

Please help me fill out missing information for the PC Net/Modem games
list.  This list is maintained on behalf of the usenet community to keep it
informed of multiplayer PC games.  It's goal is to encourage the popularity
of such games, and thus more multi-player support in future games.
The list is posted monthly to alt.games.announce.

If you arn't sure of an answer, leave it blank or append a "?"
(e.g., Release Date:  "94?")  Also, see the notes below the survey
for a more complete description of the responces.

Please send to ji...@cs.uwm.edu.  Thanks!
