I am trying to learn some historical information about multiuser 
interactive video/computer games.  If anyone knows of any games 
of this kind that existed in early 1980 please reply. I'm 
interested in games that let multiple players on separate 
terminals/computers interact in the same game.

I have heard about megawars.  Does anyone know when it was first 
made?  I understand it was the first multiuser interactive game.

You can send me a reply to 74557.267@compuserve.com.
