and lots more! You can find "Intelligent Gamer" at the FTP site:
BUSOP.CIT.WAYNE.EDU  in the directory:  pub\pselect\intgmr

MS-DOS users will need the file "GAME0394.ZIP". Users who do not have MS-DOS
compatibility can download a special ASCII only version of the issue, under
the name "GAME0394.TXT" (but of course, no graphics or other features are
present. I will also send ASCII only copies of the magazine through e-mail
to anyone who requests it.)

        We are looking for volunteer writers to submit articles for future
issues. Either see the magazine or e-mail me to get more info...
