CGW has an article about a multi-player Battletech game available for play
via Genie.  Has anyone tried this?   What costs are involved?

There was a coin-op game called B.O.T.T.S. developed by Microprose in the
arcades a few months ago.  It was in the same vein as the more elaborate
Battletech Center in Chicago.  I thought that it could mean there might
be a version developed for the PC but have not heard anything.

Well, it is in beta at the moment.  Cost is $6.00 an hour.  Essentially it
is Activisions MechWarrior with multiplayer capability.  The game is only
for the IBM :) and the graphics are EGA (yuck).  Its pretty fun though 
playing with other people.  If you have MechWarrior then you will get the
hang of this one real easily.  

Me?  I'm waiting for the SVGA Air Warrior to get past beta testing.  Now
that is a sweet multiplayer game.

Does anyone know if B.O.T.T.S is in the Chicago area?  This sounds interesting.
