Forwarding note from: Paul Henrichsen Tue, 21 Jan 1997 19:34:33 -0800 Hello listers where-ever you are. I have been asked by Personal Computer Systems if I would post their games to my ftp and web sites. Well, they ar all there. Yes! There are seven of them and all speech friendly waiting to be played. There is a shooting gallery, a bowling game, a scavenger hunt, monopoly, a football game and more. I am glad to help the folks at Personal computer systems out. These are some nice games. My personal favorite is the shooting gallery, ghoot96.zip. Please visit the sites which can be found at the end of this message and enjoy.
